The MHKDR is the repository for all data collected using funds from the Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It was established to receive, manage, and make available all water power relevant data generated from projects funded by the DOE Water Power Technologies Office. This includes data from WPTO-funded projects associated with any portion of the water power project life-cycle (exploration, development, operation), as well as data produced by WPTO-funded research.
