Brief Reconnaissance Study for the Addition of Hydropower for Dorthea Dam, Lily, Kentucky

摘要

The feasibility of retrofitting the Dorthea Dam near Lily, Kentucky for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 25 ft., was built in 1926 for electric power generation, and currently is used for a source of water supply. The study of environmental, institutional, safety and economic factors showed that hydroelectric power development at this site is technically and economically feasible. (ERA citation 07:046125)
