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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWater resources; small hydropower; energy demand; Eastern Black Sea Basin; TurkeyArticle24204N/A241129WOS:000535839500053N/A
