COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN WATERSHED & ITS ECOSYSTEM Columbia River Basin Watershed & Its Ecosystem. The romantic and mythic nature of the Columbia River is something that cuts across both generations and cultures. Some Native Americans call it “Nch-i-wana,” or the Big River. Lewis and Clark wrote about its beauty, power, and changing nature in their diaries. OVERVIEW OF HYDROPOWER IN THE NORTHWEST Hydropower is generated at only 3% of the nation’s 80,000 dams. In the Northwest, hydropower is an even bigger part of each person’s daily life. Up to 80% of the electricity in the Northwest is produced by hydropower each year. That’s enough electricity to meet the needs of 13.6 million homes. And because hydropower is one of the lowest RIVERS TO POWER VIDEO Rivers to Power Video. This nine minute video provides an overview of how hydropower generates up to 75% of the electricity used in the Northwest. The history of water power, the water cycle, how hydropower is generated, the benefits of water to various community interests, and environmental considerations are features of this video.THE WATER CYCLE
The Water Cycle. Energy from the sun powers the water cycle. It causes water to EVAPORATE from oceans, rivers, lakes and even puddles. “Evaporate” means water turns from liquid to gas, or “vapor,” and then rises into the atmosphere. Another form of evaporation is TRANSPIRATION, which is when water given off through the pores ofplants

The Box Canyon Dam is a run-of-the-river project that was built near the exit of a narrow channel commonly referred as BoxCanyon.

WALK THROUGH A HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT providing balanced information for using water as a renewable energy resource in the northwest HOW HYDROELECTRIC PROJECTS ARE REGULATED How Hydroelectric Projects Are Regulated. Over the last hundred years, a set of complex laws, treaties and agreements were enacted to guide the operations of hydroelectric projects. And those responsible for carrying out these laws, treaties and agreements include not only the owners of hydroelectric projects, but federal, state, local and OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HYDROELECTRIC PROJECTS Compared to municipal utilities, the main difference is that they are not part of a larger governmental body. There are 28 hydroelectric projects that are owned and operated by PUDs. Collectively, they have a generating capacity of 5,706 megawatts of electricity. Privately Owned Utilities: These utilities also fall into two broad catagories. FERC RULES AGAINST GRANT PUD’S RELICENSING METHODS FERC is the federal agency which will issue the next operating license for GrantnCounty PUD dams. The application process is expected to end around 2003 whennGrant PUD turns in its relicensing application to FERC. The existing FERCnoperating license for Grant County PUD expires in 2005.

The Water Cycle. Energy from the sun powers the water cycle. It causes water to EVAPORATE from oceans, rivers, lakes and even puddles. “Evaporate” means water turns from liquid to gas, or “vapor,” and then rises into the atmosphere. Another form of evaporation is TRANSPIRATION, which is when water given off through the pores ofplants
KORTES: NORTH PLATTE RIVER, WY Kortes dam is located about 54 miles southwest of Casper in Black Canyon.

OVERVIEW OF HYDROPOWER IN THE NORTHWEST Hydropower is generated at only 3% of the nation’s 80,000 dams. In the Northwest, hydropower is an even bigger part of each person’s daily life. Up to 80% of the electricity in the Northwest is produced by hydropower each year. That’s enough electricity to meet the needs of 13.6 million homes. And because hydropower is one of the lowest PRIEST RAPIDS: COLUMBIA RIVER, WA Priest Rapids Dam is located on the Columbia River, 24 miles south of Vantage and 200 miles downstream from Grand Coulee Dam. The dam was named in recognition of the Wanapum religious leader Smowhalla and the small band of indigenous people that lived during the winter at a village near the last of seven rapids, called Priest Rapids. HOW WIND TURBINES GENERATE ELECTRICITY The wind direction rotates the nacelle to face into the wind. The energy in the wind (called kinetic energy) turns the turbine blades around the rotor (creating mechanical energy). The rotor connects to the main shaft, which turns inside the generator housing. Here, a magnetic rotor spins inside loops of copper wire.

Pend Oreille PUD was the first PUD in the nation to build a hydro-project. The Box Canyon Dam is a run-of-the-river project that was built near the exit of a narrow channel commonly referred as BoxCanyon.
STONE CREEK: OAK GROVE FORK CLACKAMAS RIVER, OR The project lies between Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Timothy Lake and PGE’s Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project. Water is diverted from the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River just downstream from its junction with Stone Creek, which is about one mile downstream fromTimothy Lake.
