Reservoir
A reservoir (; from French ''réservoir'' ) is an enlarged lake behind a dam. Such a dam may be either artificial, built to store fresh water or it may be a natural formation. Reservoirs can be created in a number of ways, including controlling a watercourse that drains an existing body of water, interrupting a watercourse to form an embayment within it, through excavation, or building any number of retaining walls or levees. In other contexts, "reservoirs" may refer to storage spaces for various fluids; they may hold liquids or gasses, including hydrocarbons. ''Tank reservoirs'' store these in ground-level, elevated, or buried tanks. Tank reservoirs for water are also called cisterns. Most underground reservoirs are used to store liquids, principally either water or petroleum. Types Dammed valleys Dammed reservoirs are artificial lakes created and controlled by a dam A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of surface water or underground streams ...

Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Station
The Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Station is a hydroelectric power station on the Sondu River in Kenya. Location The power station is located near the village of ''Kusa'' in Kisumu County, approximately , by road, southeast of Kisumu, the location of the county headquarters. This lies approximately , by road, northwest of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in the country. The coordinates of the power station are:0°20'33.0"S, 34°51'08.0"E (Latitude:0°20'33.0"S; Longitude:34°51'08.0"E). Overview The power station is unique because it is not located directly on the river from which it derives the water that powers it. At the intake point, water is diverted to the power station, via a intake tunnel. After the power is generated, the water effluent is discarded about downstream of the intake point via an outlet channel that measures . A 135kV transmission line carries the power from the power station to a substation in Kisumu, where it is integrated into the national elec ...

Run Of River
Run-of-river hydroelectricity (ROR) or run-of-the-river hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectricity, hydroelectric generation plant whereby little or no water storage is provided. Run-of-the-river power plants may have no water storage at all or a limited amount of storage, in which case the storage reservoir is referred to as pondage. A plant without pondage is subject to seasonal river flows, thus the plant will operate as an intermittent energy source. Conventional hydro uses reservoirs, which regulate water for flood control, dispatchable generation, dispatchable electrical power, and the provision of fresh water for agriculture. Concept Run-of-the-river, or ROR, hydroelectricity is considered ideal for streams or rivers that can sustain a minimum flow or those regulated by a lake or reservoir upstream. A small dam is usually built to create a headpond ensuring that there is enough water entering the penstock pipes that lead to the turbines, which are at a lower elevat ...
