Francisco Gomide - Water Storage for Sustainable Development and Poverty Erad...International Hydropower Association
This document discusses water storage through reservoirs for sustainable development and poverty eradication. It notes that reservoirs have long been used to manage floods and droughts, but some groups now oppose reservoirs. However, reservoirs provide important benefits like water supply, irrigation, flood control and hydropower. They also note that South America, including Brazil, has ideal conditions for hydropower due to high rainfall but has underdeveloped water storage infrastructure compared to other regions. The author argues that sustainable development requires infrastructure investment, including reservoirs, to ensure access to water and electricity for all.IHA 2013 World Congress: Instituto Acende Brasil: Current initiatives and wha...

Manitoba Hydro has experience with reservoir evaporation due to its many hydroelectric reservoirs and lakes. While precipitation rates are greater than evaporation rates across Manitoba, creating new reservoirs results in a net loss of water due to higher evaporation rates of the new reservoir surface area compared to the previous land. However, Manitoba Hydro estimates the incremental net water loss from its reservoirs is very small at 0.0002% of total water supply or the equivalent of 8.3 cubic meters per megawatt hour of electricity generated on average across its system. While m3/MWh is commonly used, it is not the most appropriate measure for Manitoba where water is plentiful and incremental evaporation likely has no impact on other water users. A

The document discusses downstream flow regimes and progress in recognizing their importance for ecosystems. It notes the increasing complexity in understanding flow characteristics and defining objectives for target species, flows, sediment transport, and other values. A one-size-fits-all formula is not appropriate, and focus should be placed on principles, best practices, and case-by-case approaches within legal frameworks. Progress has been made moving from minimum flows to adaptive downstream flow management systems involving monitoring, physical channel adjustments, and operational rules.
Jose Miranda, EPE
The document discusses trends in hydropower deployment globally and regionally. It notes that Brazil generates 87.2% of its electricity from renewables, mostly hydro at 81.2%. While Brazil has already developed 34% of its hydro potential, it has an estimated remaining potential of 260 GW, mostly in the Amazon basin. Major new hydro projects like Belo Monte aim to develop this clean energy resource while promoting regional development.

AMCOW has strengthened governance structures and mobilized resources, but faces challenges like limited infrastructure development and funding.
IHA Congress 2011 - Session 8b - Antonio Fonseca dos Santos
This document discusses downstream flow regimes for hydropower projects. It notes that planning for reservoir filling and power plant operation must consider ecological, social, and economic factors. There is often a lack of scientific data and regulation to guide discussions on downstream flows. The document presents two case studies where downstream flow levels were negotiated: the Salto Caxias project, where ecological and community concerns over reduced flows to Iguazu Falls led to an agreed minimum flow of 155 cm/s; and a smaller project where community concerns over reduced scenic waterfall flows resulted in an agreed minimum flow of 6 cm/s, versus the regulatory minimum of 2.2 cm/s. The document concludes that downstream flow discussions must be case-specific,

Russia has significant untapped hydropower potential, especially in Siberia and the Far East, where development has only reached 20% and 3% respectively. The largest hydropower producer in Russia is RusHydro, a state-owned company that is increasing its presence abroad and pursuing additional hydropower projects domestically. In 2010, RusHydro restored capacity at Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP and acquired hydropower plants in Armenia, expanding its portfolio beyond Russia.
IHA Congress 2011 - Session 4c - Itaipu
The document outlines the evolution of Itaipu Binacional's mission from focusing on hydraulic energy generation to prioritizing social and environmental responsibility through sustainable development initiatives. Key programs discussed include basin management through water pacts with local communities, biodiversity protection across over 100,000 hectares, and rural development support for over 1,000 organic producers. The organization's strategic vision is now a systemic approach to social and environmental management with a focus on sustainability and community participation.
IHA Congress 2011 - Session 4b - Chris Eaglin
This document discusses water use and consumption for hydropower generation. It notes that hydropower water usage must account for multiple uses of dams and downstream impacts, as with other generation technologies. There have been limited studies on water use for hydropower specifically. The document proposes a conceptual framework and methodology to expand analyses of water use for all energy generation technologies, including hydropower. Key aspects that need definition and consideration are consumption, water use, losses, supply chain impacts and downstream effects. Case studies would need to account for hydrological, climate and infrastructure factors as well as grid integration.
Rikard Liden, World Bank
To measure the sustainability of hydropower projects, the World Bank focuses on defining measurable long-term outcomes, measuring targets over medium-to-long periods, and judging sustainability based on consumption trends, net assets, and diversified income sources. However, sustainability requires commitments from multiple sectors outside developer control. The World Bank is exploring areas like the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol, integrating information and communication technologies into monitoring, and adaptive contract management to better ensure sustainability.

Hydropower is influenced by climate change, but it can also contribute to alleviating the problem. Panellists will present and discuss four aspects of these relationships:
Science and uncertainty relating to the impact of climate change on hydrology;
Reviewing the relationship between hydropower and the natural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the river basin;
Methods and incentives to use hydropower to offset GHG emissions from more carbon-intensive sources of energy; and
assessing the role of hydropower infrastructure in the face of increasing floods and drought.

For many years, renewable energy systems were seen as dependent on non-renewable sources. Challenges of cost, variability, storage and ancillary services have been put forward as barriers to a renewable future. However, an increasing number of cases describe 100% renewable energy systems, utilizing the differentiated, but mutually supportive, characteristics of different renewable sources. Leading energy agencies will present the current status of the renewables sector, and representatives of each renewable energy technology will contribute on behalf of their constituencies.

This document discusses the social challenges and opportunities of hydroelectric projects in 3 paragraphs. It acknowledges that negative social impacts are real but benefits should not be overlooked. Impacts must be carefully addressed and opportunities maximized through benefit sharing. Social impacts can be complex to handle, such as effects on indigenous groups or resettlement. The document advocates going beyond compensation to promote development. Benefits are discussed at regional and local scales, including infrastructure, jobs, and programs. Finally, the document provides recommendations for addressing social issues through understanding needs, participation, adaptation, and long-term monitoring.
