Using Water Energy for Electrical Energy Conservation by Building of Micro hydroelectric Generators on The Water Pipelines That Depend on The Difference in Elevation

Abstract

In this research we study the elevations of citiesand the water resources specially at the dams reservoirsand the distance between them(dams & cities), we use theGoogle Earth program to determine these elevations andcalculate the difference between the average level(elevation) of water at the dam and the average level ofcities, which we want to supply it by water, in order tosave electrical power by using the energy of suppliedwater through pipe line from dams to the cities, thepressure of supplied water must be calculated from thedifference in elevations(head). The saving of energy canbe achieved by two ways. The first is the energy saving byreduce the consumed power in the pumping water fromriver, which is used for different purposes. The second isthe hydroelectric power generated by establishing a microhydroelectric generator on the pipe line of the watersupplied
