meeting in Houston Texas in October 1983 when the mittce was reactivated. The purpose of themittee as restated in 1983 was to “investigate and disscminate information on all phases of hydro- electric power" At the time there was a noticeablc gap bctween the state of the art and the literature.There was a need for a prehensive document that pulled together the widely recognized hydro-relateddesign information using appropriate text and refercnccs.
Because of the small initial membership of the Hydropower Committee the original intent was merely acivil engincering hydroelectric design symposium involving publication of state-of-the-art papers.joinedthemitethebjectiveandscopeofthGidelinesgrewMmberhprachdamost0 Additional papers would be added later to closc apparent information gaps.However as more membersEnergy Division.

The text is arranged so that engineers can ad their ow notes in the margins.QuarkXPresselectronicpublishing software was used to lay out all of the pages of the Guidelines. Many of thc authors’ original drafts were printed using IBM-patible putcrs and the files were converted to a Macintosh for-mat. Equations were created using a Macintosh software program.
The Hydropower Committe intends to publish a revision to the Guidelines carly in 1991. To this end aform is enclosed that allows readers to order this revision or to offer ments corrections or additions.
Recognition is due to the Hydropower Committe members especially those who remained active con-ticipation of the mittee members allowing them to attend meetings and providing the office assis- tance required for the chainmen and control members to administer related mittee activities.
James Birk and Charles Sullivan of EPRI were instrumental in the successful pletion of the work by recognizing the mittee's capability to develop the Guidelines and by securing the necessary funding

Douglas Morris EPRI Project Manager monitored and directed the EPRI-related activities of the -mittee and contributed significantly in the review of the Guidelines.
Philip M. Botch who served as Encrgy Division Contact Member of the mittee until his death in1986 provided substantial contributions and support for the project.

Arvids established thc initial concept and provided the direction that guided the authors.
