Hydroelectric energy is "expensive"? Attribute of cheap electricity produced by hydro is in contradiction with the paradoxical difficulty for developing resource allocation hydrotechnical complex. Difficulties, largely from the lack of a methodology for economic and technical efficiency regulation hydrotechnical complex, with multiple uses. It is impossible to sustain a new development project, and demonstrated its effectiveness as long as the evaluation of direct and indirect positive effects is not regulated and then during operation can not be constituted and support costs, according to the revenues from each uses. For electricity is regulated regulated within this use, the correlation volumes during a hydrological year with the need for safe operation of the National Power System by reserving the necessary volumes of water control services. In case of hydropower potential and less arranged in an acute lack of resources to complete what is started in a correct order of priority, should be identified and established rules of decision-making mechanisms, without the possibility of arbitrary strategies, programs and onerous inappropriate at this time is scarce. This becomes urgent, because under the Water Act, appeared in a basin advisory decision tool: Basin Committee. By consensus of the uses of water in a large area, it is difficult to harmonize a system of interest very often in conflict with unequal actors. The rules, once established, be applied in a reasonable time for compliance, by the existing infrastructure and their interests. For those who want to develop new projects, they are discussed a priori synchronization. The amount of water in a river basin may be an indicator and a parameter of order of priorities, use and allocation of resources for economic and social development.
