Costs of mitigating the environmental impacts of hydropower projects in the United States

Gbadebo A. Oladosu et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in environmental costs among different hydropower projects, with smaller projects spending a larger proportion of total project costs on mitigating environmental impacts. Measures related to aquatic species, project operations, and recreation had the highest capital cost per kilowatt compared to other measures.

Sustainable development pathways of hydropower in China: Interdisciplinary qualitative analysis and scenario-based system dynamics quantitative modeling

Lijie Sun et al.

Summary: Hydropower, as a low-cost, low-carbon, and clean renewable energy, plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. The development of hydropower in China has been hindered by increasing costs, resettlement issues, and environmental concerns. By utilizing a quantitative system dynamics model, this study identifies that incentive policies and technological progress are key factors in promoting long-term stable hydropower development.

Hydropower and environmental sustainability: A holistic assessment using multiple biophysical indicators

Andrei Briones-Hidrovo et al.

Summary: Hydropower is considered a valuable tool for mitigating the current climate and ecological crisis, but there is still uncertainty about its environmental sustainability. This study conducted a holistic assessment using different biophysical indicators and found that run-of-river hydropower plants are more environmentally sustainable than dam hydropower plants. The research highlights the importance of including multiple indicators for broader and unbiased assessments.

Eco-environmental impacts of dams in the Yangtze River Basin, China

Boyan Li et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the eco-environmental impacts of dams in the Yangtze River Basin in China, finding that the negative environmental effects of existing dams have significantly increased, affecting downstream areas and reservoir regions. The construction of dams has reduced the complexity of runoff and sediment loads in the short term, reflecting a filtering effect on the temporal and spatial patterns.

Project justification and EIA: Anything goes?

Alvaro Enriquez-de-Salamanca

Summary: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a tool that integrates environmental factors into decision-making processes, but it may not always effectively reject projects with controversial justifications and little social utility, especially when they have political backing. In order to prevent unjustified projects, measures such as adopting an administrative justice approach, minimizing politicization, improving transparency and proportionality, conducting pre-feasibility studies, and strengthening project justifications in EIA documents could be implemented.
