Abstract
A reservoir (102) near an ice cap (104), and a graded terrace network (116) on the surface of the ice cap (104). The graded terrace network (116) collects runoff water across a wide area, both within the limits of the reservoir's (102) ice cap natural catchment area (112), and beyond it in the ice cap non-catchment area (114). The graded terrace network (116) directs the collected water into the ice cap natural catchment area (112) and from there it drains into the reservoir's ice-free catchment area (106), and then into the reservoir (102). This increases the volume of water stored in the reservoir (102). This additional stored water is used to power a hydroelectric power station (300) and for other uses. A second reservoir (406), connected to the reservoir (102) by a water pump (402) and a second hydroelectric power station (410), adds additional water storage and power generating capacity.
