FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Hydroelectric Power House Structures Sectional Committee had been approved by the River Valley
Division Council.
Small hydrodevelopment has been taking place steadily since a very long time, where encouraging
factors exist-ed. This development has mostly taken place in remote mountaneous areas to meet the
local energy demand and in the plains, through development of canal drops wherever found attractive.
The cost of low head/small hydro-electric schemes depend largely on the civil engineering works, like
dam, water conductor system and power house, etc. The siting of low head hydro-electric schemes on
large irrigation canal offer a good scope to utilize the falls on the canal for generation of electricity
more economically.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with 1s 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
