Recreational use of the reservoirs of hydroelectric and pumped-storage stations

Abstract

1. When developing water-management and hydropower construction projects and schemes of multipurpose use of individual streams under current conditions, special attention should be deveoted to the problem of the recreational use of the future objects, reservoirs, and streams. 2. With consideration of the importance of the indicated problem, a special section of the project should be devoted to its development with mandatory elucidation both of the natural, hydrological, sanitary-hygienic, and engineering-technical problems and an economic substantiation of the proposed recreational measures with an evaluation of their positive and possible negative consequences with estimation not only of costs but also an estimation of the payback period and effectiveness from the recreational development of the territory.
