Tools & Data

What tools have been developed?

The SMH project research has resulted in the development of three online tools and three related datasets. These products are separated into SMH-based products (for new stream-reach hydropower development) and non-powered dam (NPD)-based products.

SMH-based products

SMH research has resulted in the development of the following products, which are housed at: hydrosource.ornl.gov

• SMH Explorer
• Stream Network Attributes for Standard Modular Hydropower (SMH) Explorer
• Stream Network Clustering Attributes for Standard Modular Hydropower (SMH) Explorer

In addition, the following tool has been published on GitHub:

• Water allocation tool enabling rapid Small Hydropower Environmental Design (waterSHED)

NPD-based products

SMH research has resulted in the development of the following NPD-related products, which are housed at: hydrosource.ornl.gov

• NPD Explorer and NPDamCAT Apps
• U.S. Non-Powered Dam Characteristics Inventory
