The general perception of small run-of-river hydropower plants as renewable energy
sources with little or no environmental impacts has led to a global proliferation of this …

River impoundment by the construction of dams potentially modifies a wide range of abiotic
and biotic factors in lotic ecosystems and is considered one of the most significant …

Assessing the sustainability level of the power sector can aid the transition towards a
sustainable energy system. In this contribution, we propose a novel approach to compare …

Unlike large dams which favor methylation of Hg in flooded soils over long periods, run-of-
river dams are designed to flood a limited area of soils and are therefore not expected to …

Currently, the literature lacks comprehensive studies on the impact of hydropower plants
(HPs) on the environment, including studies focused on the physicochemical parameters of …

Dam operation is vital for human existence but has several negative impacts on the
environment, such as excessive release of sediment, river flow disturbance, and water …

The present work focuses on evaluating the ecological effects of hydropower-induced
streamflow alteration within four catchments in the central Italian Alps. Downstream from the …

Our study focused on quantifying the alterations of streamflow at a weir site due to the
construction of a mini-hydropower plant in the Gurugoda Oya (Sri Lanka), and evaluating the …

Run-of-river power plants (ROR) represent the majority of hydroelectric plants worldwide.
Their environmental impacts are not well documented and are believed to be limited …

Being able to communicate effectively is an essential skill for statisticians and data scientists.
Despite this, communication skills are not frequently taught or emphasized in statistics and …
