Any thermal power plant requires water for processing, cooling, oilfields, boiler feed and other miscellaneous uses including domestic requirements. The main parameter to measure the efficiency of thermal power plant is the availability of water and technology employed. Therefore, the thermal power plants like A1-Anbar thermal power station is built on the Euphrates River bank in the city of Ramadi in the middle part of Iraq. Depending on the field measurements and pervious measurements, the computation of river water level for different frequency periods was achieved to determine the inundation area of the plant and the required height of power plant intakes. The problems of intake operation include low flow rate of the river at intake that resulting low water level （minimum flow rate was recorded 107 m^3/s with water level 47.8 m）, and annual sediments at intake that may be caused operation off. Therefore, any design for the intake or operation must consider the above problems. The study referred to the discharge for full operation is about 300 m^3/s and water level is 51.3 m to satisfy these requirements. The study suggested two solutions for this problem, first by using the groins and the second by building two weirs.展开更多
