• Francis turbine• Francis turbines are the most common water
turbine in use today. It was developed by James B.Francis in Lowell, Massachusetts.
• It is an inward-flow reaction turbine that combines
radial and axial flow concepts.
• Guide vanes around the outside of the turbine's
rotating runner adjust the water flow rate through
the turbine for different water flow rates and powerproduction rates.
• Francis turbines are almost always mounted with
the shaft vertical to keep water away from the
attached generator and to facilitate installation and
maintenance access to it and the turbine.

• Air Emissions
• A few recent studies of large reservoirs created behind hy
have suggested that decaying vegetation, submerged by f
may give off quantities of greenhouse gases equivalent to
other sources of electricity.
• If this turns out to be true, hydroelectric facilities such as
Bay project in Quebec that flood large areas of land mighsignificant contributors to global warming.
• Run of the river hydro plants without dams and reservoir

greenhouse gas).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• Land Resource Use• The most obvious impact of hydroelectric dams is the floo
areas of land, much of it previously forested or used for ag• The size of reservoirs created can be extremely large. The
project in the James Bay region of Quebec has already sub
10000 square kilometres of land; and if future plans are c
the eventual area of flooding in northern Quebec will be l
the country of Switzerland.• Reservoirs can be used for ensuring adequate water supp
irrigation, and recreation; but in several cases they have f
homelands of native peoples, whose way of life has then
destroyed. Many rare ecosystems are also threatened by
development.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• Natural river system, fish and wildlife• Large dams and reservoirs can have other impac
watershed. Damming a river can alter the amounquality of water in the river downstream of the d
well as preventing fish from migrating upstream
• These impacts can be reduced by requiring mini
downstream of a dam, and by creating fish laddeallow fish to move upstream past the dam.
• Silt, normally carried downstream to the lower r
river, is trapped by a dam and deposited on the
reservoir.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• Natural river system, fish and wildlife
• This silt can slowly fill up a reservoir, decreasing t
amount of water, which can be stored and used fo
electrical generation.
• The river downstream of the dam is also deprived
which fertilizes the river's flood plain during high
