Conventional HydroSECURE Water Act Section 9505 Assessment

The U.S. Department of Energy was directed by Section 9505 of the SECURE Water Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11) to submit a report to Congress on each effect of, and risk resulting from, global climate change with respect to: (1) water supplies used for hydroelectric power generation; and (2) power supplies marketed by each Federal Power Marketing Administration. To evaluate the potential effects on the 132 federal hydropower plants in the United States, ORNL designed a spatially consistent assessment approach to enable interregional comparisons. This approach uses a series of hyper-resolution meteorologic, hydrologic, and hydropower models to produce the most up-to-date understanding of long-term hydro-meteorological trends on future hydroelectric generation from federal facilities.

Lead Researcher (s)
- Erik Pytlak, BPA
This project updates and enhances the existing climate change streamflow hydrologic dataset that was developed for use by the Columbia River Basin Management Joint Operating Committee (RMJOC) in 2009-2011 to incorporate recent global and regional model output. These data sets have been delivered in a format that can be used by BPA and its partners as input to their hydroregulation models.
