Worldwide research trends on hydropower
Hydropower is the energy generated by transforming the force of water into electrical energy. To take advantage of this power, large hydraulic infrastructures are built that are suitable for extracting the maximum potential ...
Corrosion monitoring of post-tensioned strands at the Piedra del Aguila spillway
(Hydropower & Dams, Aqua-Media International Ltd, 2014-12)
The Piedra del Aguila project in Argentina is a concrete gravity dam constructed in the 1980s,on the Limay river. The dam includes a spill way channel controlled by four gates. The spillway structure includes several ...

Downstream effects of hydropower production on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in two rivers in Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014)
Despite the fact that little is known about the consequences of hydropower production in tropical areas, many large dams (>15m high) are currently under construction or consideration in the tropics. We researched the effects ...
Dams, Chinese investments, and EIAs: A race to the bottom in South America?
(Royal Swedish Acad Sciences, 2019-02)
The political economy of dam development in South America is changing as a result of a resurgence in water infrastructure investments. The arrival of Chinese-funded projects in the region has altered a context traditionally ...
Massive tree mortality from flood pulse disturbances in Amazonian floodplain forests: The collateral effects of hydropower production
(2019-04-01)
Large dams built for hydroelectric power generation alter the hydrology of rivers, attenuating the flood pulse downstream of the dam and impacting riparian and floodplain ecosystems. The present work mapped black-water ...

Fragmentation of Chilean Andean rivers: expected effects of hydropower development
(2019)
BackgroundFragmentation (establishment of barriers e.g., hydropower dams, reservoirs for irrigation) is considered one of the greatest threats to conservation of river systems worldwide. In this paper we determine the ...
Life-cycle inventory for hydroelectric generation: a Brazilian case study
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-01-01)
Representative Life-Cycle Inventories (LCIs) are essential for Life-Cycle Assessments (LCAs) quality and readiness. Because energy is such an important element of LCAs, appropriate LCIs on energy are crucial, and due to ...
