It is known very well that hydropower energy is a type
of the most important renewable energy in the world, and of course its positive
impacts on the environment should not be ignored. There is a great
hydroelectric potential in Turkey, especially in the
Eastern Black Sea Region. Because the Eastern Black Sea Region has a good
geographical location and climate for hydro energy in Turkey. In addition, the
Eastern Black Sea Region is the rainiest region and there are a lot of rivers
also. In this study, small hydropower potential in the Eastern Black Sea Region
has been determined by using hydraulics and hydrological characteristics, water
discharges and water drop (altitude) of the rivers.
