Künstliches Hochwasser an der Saane - Eine Massnahme zum nachhaltigen Auenmanagement

Anton Schleiss, Severin Stähly, Christopher Robinson

Durch Wasserkraft genutzte Flüsse und Auenlandschaften sind in ihrem Abfluss- und Geschieberegime und damit in ihrer Morphologie und Ökologie oft stark beeinträchtigt. In der Saane unterhalb der Staumauer Rossens führten eine jahrzehntelange Restwasserbewi ...

Global and local anthropogenic effects on hydrodynamics of lakes : applications to Lake Biel drinking water management

Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå

In many countries water quality is a major concern for drinking water management authorities. Freshwater is a limited resource and the demand for good-quality water from natural aquatic systems is therefore high. Additional stress arises from anthropogenic ...

Reactivation of Klingnau reservoir sidearm: Numerical simulation of sediment release downstream

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Philippe Heller

The Klingnau reservoir, situated in north Switzerland, suffers from sedimentation in its left enlargement. The dam is placed in the Aare River about 1 km upstream of its confluence with the Rhine. Due to natural conservation and flood protection reasons, i ...

Flow restoration in Alpine streams affected by hydropower operations—a case study for a compensation basin

Anton Schleiss, Martin Peter Bieri, Michael Müller

Hydropeaking, resulting from rapid starting and shut-down of turbines, is one of the major hydrological alterations in Alpine streams. The upper Aare River basin in Switzerland comprises a complex high-head storage hydropower scheme. The significant turbin ...

Morphodynamic changes in a natural river confluence due to a hydropower modified flow regime

Anton Schleiss, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro, Simon Wampfler

River channel confluences form important morphological components of any river system. This article presents the results of an investigation on a natural river confluence in Switzerland. The aim of the field work performed at the confluence of the Sarine ( ...

Influence of climate change on future operation of a complex storage hydropower scheme in the Swiss Alps

Anton Schleiss, Martin Peter Bieri

For the case study area of the upper Aare River catchment in Switzerland with large mountain glaciers, where a complex storage hydropower scheme is located, the impact of climate change on runoff was simulated. Future runoff was assessed for the ongoing ce ...

Operation of Complex Hydropower Schemes and its Impact on the Flow Regime in the Downstream River System under Changing Scenarios

Martin Peter Bieri

Hydropower is the world’s most important renewable electricity source. More than 40% of European hydroelectric energy is produced in Alpine countries. High-head storage hydropower plants (HPP) contribute significantly to peak energy production as well as e ...
