Mapping of Hydropower Plant in Albania, Using Geographic Information System Mapping of hydropower plant in Albania, using Geographic Information System © HELP-CSO project Compiled and prepared by: Author: Lorela Lazaj 1, Rineldi Xhelilaj 2 EcoAlbania 1GIS expert; [email protected] Miliekontakt Albania 2Architect; [email protected] LexFerenda April 2017 1 of 37 Mapping of hydropower plant in Albania, using Geographic Information System Abstract: The hydropower industry business has been growing very fast in Albania since 2007. Few studies have been published recently about the environmental and social impacts of this industry. Mapping of the existing hydropower plants and those which are planned to be developed is a must, in order to understand and estimate the consequences and to develop the proper conservation plans. GIS is shown to be a very useful tool, in environmental management and protection in different fields, including hydrology. This paper includes: a desk research on the identification of hydropower plants’ geographic location, and additional data associated with each one such as: the company’s name, power, capacity, basin, etc.; also the mapping and classification of the hydropower in different categories. The purpose of this project is to: create an open geodatabase, available to everyone who needs the information regarding the existing and planned hydropower plants in Albania; create an interactive map integrated into the webpage; mapping the HPPs conflicts. Keywords: GIS; hydropower; Albania; hydrology; environment; dam; protected areas Partnership was considered as a great 1. Introduction opportunity for the sector of hydropower. Albania is located in the western part of the Therefore, the interest for the hydropower sector Balkan Peninsula. Its hydrographic territory has grew rapidly, by providing enormous benefits a surface of 44,000 km square, with an average for the private sector and at the same time height of the hydrographic territory of about 700 meeting people’s needs for electricity. Back then, m above the sea level. It has more than 152 the environmental and social impacts of HPPs rivers and streams that form 8 large rivers (Buna, into the ecosystems and biodiversity were Drin, Mat, Ishëm, Erzen, Shkumbin, Seman, Vjosë) unknown. The energy delivered by HPPs, was flowing from southeast to northwest, mainly used to be classified as clean, renewable energy, discharging towards the Adriatic coast. The which helps reduce carbon emission. In the average perennial total inflow of Albanian rivers contrary, according to the Union of Concerned is about 1,245 m³/s while the amount of water Scientist, large hydroelectric dams do pollute running to the sea is about 40 billion water cubic with greenhouse gases. As the reservoir behind meter/year [1].

Fey studies reveal important data on amendments of the existing ones, regarding the the environmental and social negative impacts concessions, from 2007 [3]1, the Private Public of HPPs into the environment’s quality.

For instance, the lack of and local community in cases of HPPs information is often the reason of wrong construction.

Unfortunately, none of the • creating an interactive map integrated into locals is aware of the construction of HPPs until the webpage; the exact moment that the construction actually • Mapping the HPPs conflicts. starts to take place. The farmers and the rural community are the most affected categories and their case is supported mainly by local NGO-s and Scientists [5]. Some of the hydropower plants have been constructed within protected areas. In Albania the protected area network consist of 16 % of the territory, represented by 2 Strict Nature Reserves, 15 National Parks, 750 Natural Monuments, 22 Managed Natural Reserves, 5 Protected Landscapes and 5 protected areas with sustainable use of natural resources [6]. In this paper there is done the mapping of all HPPs identified conflicts. 3 of 37 2. Methodology reason the actual number of HPPs is higher Prior to the mapping of HPPs in Albania, comparing to those identified and mapped in the data collection was done and organized in this study. The basin division and visualization an Excel file in ten columns. For every is done according to the Council of Ministers hydropower, there were nine defined attributes Decision No 342, date 04.05.2016 on the associated with it such as: Contract numbers, “Approval of basin’s territorial and HPPs name, year, coordinates, basin, company, hydrographic borders in the Republic of Albania capacity in kW, annual production and legal and the center with council members for each of framework. All the coordinates were converted it”. This division doesn’t refer to the topography from degrees, minutes, seconds for both latitude or hydrology dynamics, but is done just for and longitude, to decimal degrees. The management purpose.

  • On the Flood Forecasting at the Bulgarian Part Of
    BALWOIS 2004 Ohrid, FY Republic of Macedonia, 25-29 May 2004 The Regionalisation Of Albanian Territory According To The Annual Specific Yield Bardhyl Shehu Polytechnic University of Tirana Tirana, Albania Molnar Kolaneci Hydrometeorological Institute Tirana, Albania Abstract Albanian territory is very reach in water resources. The spatial distribution of the water resources in Albanian territory is heterogeneous due to a high variability of climatic and land characteristics. The parameter chosen for the regionalisation is the specific yield. The long-term average of specific yield has a spatial variability of 10 to 100 l/s/km2 in Albanian territory. The data used include the period 1951-1990 of 80 hydrometric stations distributed in whole Albanian hydrographic network. The lower limit of catchment area (basin) of 100 km2 is accepted. As the result are established two maps. In the first one is presented the general regionalisation of water resources according to the concept of high and low water resources. The second one presents the more detailed regionalisation that includes 8classes. This is the first attempt of the regionalisation of the water resources in Albanian territory. Key words: Water resources, specific yield, regionalisation, Albania The regionalisation of Albanian territory according to the annual specific yield. Introduction Albanian territory is very reach in water resources. The spatial distribution of the water resources in Albanian territory is heterogeneous due to a high variability of climatic and land characteristics. Evaluation of water resources and their presentation in a comprehensive form is useful information for decision maker’s institutions, which are interested for a complex exploitation of water resources.

  • Death of Communism Part 1
    0 Death of communism Joy of Satan ministers 26.09.2014 1 Preface There is a war going on 'out there' involving other worlds, extending to different parts of our galaxy. The greys made a deal with the Vatican - wealth and power in exchange for souls. That was one. It all has to do with occult power, along with race as well. In addition to the mass murders and tortures of Gentiles, spiritual knowledge was forcibly removed. This is what Christianity and Islam are all about. Spiritual knowledge and occult power are systematically removed and replaced with meaningless crap. This is analogous to a sense taken from one side in a war, say one of the five senses and the enemy who has all five has an obvious clear advantage. The side with four or less will obviously lose. In our case, this was the sixth sense that was removed along with knowledge pertaining to it. In its place, like I already wrote above- meaningless crap along with lies to replace it. The Inquisition even went as far as to murder the grandchildren and other descendants of so-called 'heretics." This is because the "witchpower" is hereditary. This was a huge victory for the enemy, no different from communism where mass murders are committed to wipe out any memory of the former generations that were a threat. Then, the occult knowledge is kept ion the hands of a few, mainly top Jews [they also have full control of the Vatican and also Islam at key points]. This was all accomplished with the help of the enemy human-hating greys and their reptilian superiors, and carried out by the Jews who are tied in with them.
