Abstract
The impact of conventional hydroelectric power generation plants has lead to diminishing agricultural regions. Also, the construction of dams and reservoirs which essentially requires lots of lands has forced the transition of people and consumed forest areas as well. Hydroelectric power plants can affect the quality and the flow of water in the dam or river. Because of the hydropower plant, the oxygen level in the water decreases so this is very harmful to the biodiversity presented under the river water, stream, and dam or the area in which the power plant is been established. Another characteristic of hydropower plants is that the water used for hydropower generation is hardly recycled, i.e., fed back to the water reservoir. This paper explores the opportunity for use of Heron’s Fountain to generate electrical power. MATLAB modeling of Heron’s Fountain and simulation results to determine requisites for hydropower generation are discussed.
