FOREWORD
Civil Engineering Guidelines for Planning and Designing Hydroelectric Developments was prepared bythe Hydropower Committee of the ASCE Energy Division. The mittee's work on the Guidelinesreceived substantial financial support from the Electric Power Rescarch Institute (EPRI) without whichthe preparation of these Guidelines would have been impossible.
The Guidelines began in response to the formulation ofthe purpose of the Hydropower Committe at the meeting in Houston Texas in October 1983 when the mittce was reactivated. The purpose of theelectric powe." At the time there was a noticcable gap between the state of the art and the literature. mittee as restated in 1983 was to “investigate and disseminate information on all phases of hydro-There was a need for a prehensive document that pulled together the widely recognized hydro-relateddesign information using appropriate text and references.
Because of the small initial membership of the Hydropower Committee the original intent was merely aAdditional papers would be added later to close apparent information gaps. However as more membersjoined the mittee the objective and scope of the Guidelines grew. Membership reached almost 40 the largest ever for the Hydropower Committee and among the highest of all technical mittees in the Energy Division. In early 1986 the outline of the Guidelines was finalized and the work of writing apletely new document began in eamest.

practices that have developed during the past 25 years but also to recognize precedent designs of earlier power conduits powerhouses and associated elements. The intent was to include the technology andperiods especially that after World War II.
The text is arranged so that engineers can add their own notes in the margins. QuarkXPress electronicpublishing software was used to lay out all of the pages of the Guidelines. Many of the authors’ originaldrafts were printed using IBM-patible puters and the files were converted to a Macintosh for- mat. Equations were created using a Macintosh software program.
The Hydropower Committee intends to publish a revision to the Guidelines early in 1991. To this end aform is cnclosed that allows readers to order this revision or to offer ments corrections or additions.
Recognition is due to the Hydropower Committec members especially those who remained active con-tributors until pletion of the Guidelines and dedicated many hours of their personal time to thisticipation of the mittee members allowing them to attend mectings and providing the office assis- d o pooddns e eaud pue oqnd oq suogezqueuo o o onp ose s uogulooo upeapuntance required for the chairmen and control members to administer related mittee activities.
James Birk and Charles Sullivan of EPRI were instrumental in the successful pletion of the work byrecognizing the mitee's capability to develop the Guidelines and by securing the necessary funding
