Energy Gain of Reducing Diversions
For each 1,000 acre-feet (1 Kaf) not diverted
If released over 30 days is equal to 16.7 cfs.
Multiply the flow by the power factor.
Multiply the power (MW) by 720 hours to get the gross energy.
If the return flow is at the same site and in the same month, multiply the gross energy by (1 - return percentage) to get net energy gain.
