Adopted Monthly Flow
• Discharge obtained using MIP and Modified Hydest method gives optimist result
• While discharge obtained using Hydest Method gives conservative result.
• The projected result is much different than discharge obtained from measurement which relates
to average of catchment area correlation method of Balephi,Likhu, Khimti and Melamchi River.
• Another perspective of average CAR flow from three stations were compared with measured flow
at site,
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Measured Flow 0.432 0.504 1.535 1.938

• The average CAR flow of the four nearby station gave comparable value to the measured average
flow during various months, hence the average CAR flow was adopted as the average flow at the
intake site of the project

POWER EVACUATION PLAN
• There are existing 33kV systems in the vicinity Kalinchowk Small
Hydroelectric Project (3.0 MW).
Based on lowest capitalized cost and loss, Scheme1 shows least capitalized cost. So,
12 km long single circuit 33 kV transmission line with DOG conductor is the best
alternatives among all the four schemes envisaged.
