Abstract:

This study investigated hydroelectric development at Jackson Mills Dam in Nashua New Hampshire. Reinstallation of hydroelectric power at Jackson Mills Dam has been determined feasible. During the 1950s the region switched from hydroelectric power to oil, however because of dependence on expensive imported oil, new interest is aroused in the idea of returning to hydroelectric power. Four alternatives sites were evaluated during the study. The recommended alternative a power house at the southern abutment adjacent to the public library best met the evaluation criteria. Author
