1 Some aspects of the sediment transit on the Mekong river in relation with hydropower development Daniel Loudière Société Hydrotechnique de France A presentation in three parts - the situation when starting the project with FFEM support, - some considerations proposed by CNR - data base and data use
2 Strenghts and weaknesses of the project starting early 2010 A large interest in the French Hydropower sector: edf, cnr, sogreah, cemagref-irstea, cerege, JFB+HP, AFD + FFEM Decision support for generating sustainable hydropower in the Mekong basin (Knowledge of sediment transport and discharges in relation to fluvial geomorphology for detecting the impact of large-scale hydropower projects) Many studies, many data, many modelization works,still large difficulties to develop an accepted method, reach a consensus and mitigate large discripancies
3 Many challenges A key factor : the dynamism of hydropower developers on the upper Mekong in China, on tributaries, on the lower Mekong The multiple and vital services brought by the river The global changes, climate change A relative weakness of MRCs in comparison with some HP developers Time management between short, middle and long term
4 Three points to include or develop in the project A participation of external experts in three domains: sediment metrology, fluvial geomorphology and environmental engineering Inclusion of the project in the MRCs specific or crosscutting programmes, adoption by national stakeholders, possible modifications to meet their expectations Expansion of the project upstream (implying knowledge of Chinese practices) and downstream (including influences on marine resources and security in the delta), impacts and other policies (abstraction of aggregates or flood prevention) especially in Cambodia and Vietnam

Client: Ministry of Energy and Mines
8 XAYABURI Run-of-river infrastructure or large dam?? The overall impression is that it is necessary to specify the difference between a large dam and a run-of-river development. This run-of-river development does not have a large storage capacity regarding the input flow contrary to the huge dams and does not have the heavy impacts of large reservoirs. Xayaburi development is planned on the Mekong River on the principle of run-of-river. The reservoir stretches from Xayaburi to Luang Prabang upstream. Purposes are mainly power generation and navigation improvement. The barrage will be operated using day to day water flows naturally available. The Xayaburi power plant has an installed capacity of 1,260 MW with a 810 m long and 32 m high dam and a reservoir area of 49 km² and live storage of 225 Mm 3.
9 Run-of-River Concept General design of Run-of-River development Barrage with gate structure spillway with sufficient capacity for handling at least the 1,000 year return period flood, hydropower plant, lock for crossing the head when navigation is already existing, upper reaches upstream the dam whose length can exceed 100 km. If necessary, local dikes are added on both main sides and on tributaries banks to prevent flooding of alluvial plains. When the river flow exceeds the design flow of the powerhouse, the spillway gates are opened progressively allowing excess water to flow downstream. Although the main aim of contemplated dams is hydroelectricity production, multipurpose comprehensive development is recommended for optimizing the project and benefiting local populations.
10 Run-of-River Concept Run-of-River concept : The storage capacity of impoundments is negligible compared to river flow volumes, especially flood volumes, There is neither possibility of inter annual regulation nor seasonal regulation, There is no significant active storage, with regards to the large storage of the entire reservoir. Use of the total storage capacity would lead to low water level i.e not enough head at the power station, limited draught jeopardizing navigation, high head for pumping stations, Output flow sent downstream of the dam equals Input flow entering upstream the reservoir, The turbine flow equals the Mekong River flow for river flow less or equal to the design flow of the power station. Discharge through turbine is adjusted in real time to fit Mekong River flow fluctuations.
11 Run-of-River Concept Normal flow conditions In normal conditions i.e. without floods, the surface of the pond area can be considered as horizontal along the river upstream each dam, since the backwater slope is very low. All the flow crosses the powerhouse turbines. The spillway and bottom gates are closed until the input flow reaches the installed flow capacity of the powerhouse. Example of a cascade of 3 dams in normal hydrological conditions (out of flood period).
12 Run-of-River Concept Flood management During high flows and floods conditions (for example flood 30 to 100 year return period flood), the slope of the backwater curve increases along the river upstream of each dam. Cascade of 3 dams during an intermediate flood
13 Run-of-River Concept Flood management (continued) Keeping the same regulated water level upstream dam would lead to too high backwater curves and inundation hazard. Correct management implies to decrease operated level during flood as follows: Cascade of 3 dams during an intermediate flood
14 Run-of-River Concept Design Flood For largest floods as the 1000 year or year design flood for example, all spillway gates are completely opened, water level in the reservoir is close to the natural one, preventing extra inundation Cascade of 3 dams during the design flood : all gates of the spillway are opened.
15 Hydrology 1/5 Hydrology, water flows in Mekong mainstream Comment on hydrological data of project: Hydrological data used in the feasibility study are based on the most relevant hydro meteorological information available on the mainstream, MRC data. The m 3 /s design flood assessment is consistent. Yunnan Cascade impact after completion and filling period of reservoirs: Impacts are expected on flow regarding the yearly flow regulation. During the dry season the low flow are increased by roughly 50%. During the wet season, flood peaks are reduced for floods lower than the 20 year flood. For greater floods, the impact should be weaker. Impact of planned hydroelectric projects on tributaries in Laos, upstream Xayaburi: These dams could, if operated accordingly, lead to significant contribution to flood mitigation and to flow increase in dry season. These Lao dams on Mekong tributaries will increase hydrological impact of the Yunnan Cascade.
16 Hydrology 2/5 Hydrology, water flows in Mekong mainstream (cont d) Cumulative impact of Yunnan cascade dams and Lao tributaries dams: Such impacts will add substantially to the economic viability of the schemes on the Mekong River in Lao PDR particularly during the low flow season. This impact could be mitigated by the evolution of water use in the Mekong Basin (irrigation and water supply) and Climate Change.

20 Data base in relation with engineering needs Dealing with water discharges The report presented recently by Poyrie shows that data are to-day available to describe the actual situation, its saisonnal variation, its yearly variation and the role of the main tributaries. Simulation works have been carried out to study the effects on the flow pattern in relation with existing reservoirs and different projects on the main stream or on tributaries
21 Data base in relation with sediment transport It starts with a basic watershed knowledge It goes on with the erosion process It appears according to different size: clay and silt, sand (fine, middle, coarse), gravel pebbles and blocks It is stored and may be mobilised again Transportation takes place mainly during floods and may concern various material (bedload, suspension) and suspended matters may vary deeply in fine sand content in such a deep river as the Mekong
22 On site more accurate sediment transport measurement is needed A campaign foreseen next september New devices should be tested specially ADCP, they may bring new information if properly calibrated and handled The proposed campaign is necessary to develop human resources and obtain the expected data related to sediment transport in the Mekong river
23 Some comments as a conclusion The links between flow measurement, sediment transport and fluvial geomorphology are about to be established for a better understanding ot the nature of displaced materials, their transport and their deposit. Modelisation opportunities will exist for the engineers in charge of the study of possible new hydropower schemes. Technical solutions do exist with acceptable cost/benefit relation to mitigate most problems. Some aspects still need to be checked and improved at the level of specific studies during the pre-design stage. Again, the project proposed to the FFEM for a financial support seems to respond to our expectations; but my feeling is that basic works have still to go on to reach an operationnal understanding of the sediment transport in the Mekong basin
