      Sustainable development of hydropower demands a holistic view of potential impacts of water level regulation (WLR) on reservoir ecosystems. Most environmental studies of hydropower have focused on rivers, whereas environmental effects of hydropower operations on reservoirs are less well understood. Here, we synthesize knowledge on how WLR from hydropower affects alpine lake ecosystems and highlight ...
    • A synoptic history of the development, production and environmental oversight of hydropower in Brazil, Canada, and Norway 

      Alfredsen, K.; Amundsen, P.-A.; Hahn, L.; Harrison, P.M.; Helland, Ingeborg Palm; Martins, E.G.; Twardek, W.M.; Power, M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)
      Sustainable global energy production is back-stopped by hydropower which is responsible for a significant share of the green energy produced worldwide. Hydropower, however, does not come without some environmental impacts but has worked to reduce those impacts. Here, we discuss the historical, legislative, and design configurations of hydropower facilities located in three of the world’s ...
