Lower Sesan II Hydroelectric Dam
Construction of the dam will take 5 years to be completed. The Vietnamese-Cambodian joint venture will be able to exploit for 30 years the energy resources produced by the plant, which will then be transferred to the state after the license expires. The dam will occupy 37000 hectares of land, impacting fisheries and related activities. People in 4 communes, most of whom are indigenous people who depend on fishing and farming to support their daily living, will have to abandon the area and their long-standing way of life. What strategies do the government and the companies have to compensate the people who will be affected by this USD 800 million project?

Video Rating: 5 / 5
We found a small hydroelectric generator in a farm during our tramp in the Tararua forest Park. A friend of ours told us about then something heard a loud noise and saw a small tine shed, so we decided to check it out. Turns out is was the small hydroelectric generator! How it works: All the water from a creek above is funneled down a long pipe, hitting the turbine at some speed which drives the generator which provides somewhat single phase 230 VAC to a house on a farm.

Take a virtual tour of the world’s first hydropower plant built completely underground, the Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project. Constructed in 1898-99 in the Cascade Mountains east of Seattle, the project’s original Plant 1 powerhouse — still operational today — lies inside a bedrock cavity 260 feet below ground along the edge of Snoqualmie Falls. The Puget Sound Energy project’s public park and trails are one of the Northwest’s most-visited tourist destinations.

Russian Hydro Electric Dam Accident
At least eight people are dead and more than 50 are missing after a turbine room in one of Russia’s largest hydro-electric stations flooded. A fatal accident at the RusHydro-owned hydro-electric station in Siberia has forced it to shutdown. Water flooded one of the turbine rooms killing at least eight people. State prosecutors say at least 54 people are still missing. The dam’s closure has forced steel and aluminum plants across Siberia to use emergency power. RusHydro said the damage runs into the billions and would take months to repair. Russia’s Minster of Emergencies said it would take years. [Sergei Shoigu, Russian Minister of Emergencies]: “It wouldn’t take months but years to replace three of the affected turbines, and the remaining seven affected parts, (repair) work must be begin immediately.” Locals fled the area when the accident happened, but have since returned home. [Sergei Shoigu, Russian Minister of Emergencies]: “As for electricity cuts, we are working to ensure that the local population do not suffer from this.” The power station has been running for more than three decades providing electricity to one of the world’s largest aluminum producers, United Company Rusal. The plant provides around 25 percent of RusHydro’s total capacity, the company’s shares have been suspended on the market. The authorities are saying an explosion caused the flooding. Local media reports suggest it was a water surge.
