Due to the importance of energy and water, the management of water flows potentials based on the production of electrical energy has received great attention in recent years. In this paper, the potential of producing hydropower considering technical and economic aspects has been detected for the water transmission lines from Safaroud Dam to Kerman, Nisa Dam to Bam, and Baft Dam water outlets. Each system has been simulated by WaterGems, taking into account the operating conditions of the water system and the geographical conditions of the site. During economic investigation, according to the latest laws of energy transactions in the country and relevant approvals, as well as investment costs, economic studies have been conducted from the investor's point of view. Also, according to the economic and technical conditions governing the problem, a suitable model has been proposed in order to increase the capitalization and implementation of the relevant plan. So that, its exploitation can enter not only the economic and energy cycle of the country, but also has benefits for the investee (Kerman Regional Water Company). These benefits can lead to direct financial benefit from water flow rights, and also include indirect benefit from produced electric energy.
