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 …

The optimization of dam operations to transform them into multi-objective facilities
constitutes a challenge for both hydrology, hydrogeology, and hydropower generation …

In river–floodplain systems, the construction of dams causes environmental changes in the
natural dynamics of rivers and the associated wetlands, which can affect both the taxonomic …

Tropical river basins have experienced dramatically increased hydropower development
over the last 20 years. These alterations have the potential to cause changes in hydrologic …

Understanding the ecological impacts of large-scale hydraulic projects is critical for
maintaining ecosystem health while meeting human water needs. It is, however, currently …

Facilities that produce hydroelectricity by diversion of part of the river's flow, which are often
considered to have lower environmental impact than conventional hydropower dams, are …

Run-of-river dams are often considered to have lower environmental impacts than storage
dams due to their smaller reservoirs and low potential for flow alteration. However, this has …

Hydropower use of watercourses has tangible consequences for the environment, society
and economy. Based on a literature review and their own research, the authors present …

This study innovatively evaluates the impact of hydropower plants located in a diversion
channel on water quality dynamics. The spatial characteristics of water in the diversion …

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