“…Nevertheless, there are several flow indices suggested by previous publications. Among them, the most-referenced indices are: (1) Q7.10, the minimum 7-day average with a 10-year recurrence interval [4]; (2) Q95, the discharge that is equalled or exceeded 95% of the time [5]; and (3) QFERC, the minimum flow specified by the American Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in the operational license of the Conowingo Dam [6]. The Q95 and Q90 flows are most often used as low flow indices in government publications and academic sources, and the Q95 flow index has been globally used by researchers with varying uses [7].…”

Abstract-The guarantee of multiple-use water systems is one of the main objectives of Brazilian water resource management. However, the role of hydropower plants is still unclear in the achievement of these objectives. This paper introduces a method to support hydropower plants taking into account the compatibility with multiple-use water systems It also introduces a computational tool based on the proposed method, which assesses energy generation and possible losses associated with meeting upstream water demands. A case study of the Tocantins and Araguaia basins of the Amazon region is presented. The results obtained corroborate the applicability of the proposed method.
