Due to anthropological climate change, climate scientists project a significant change in
climate in the coming years. Despite the advances in climate modeling, future climate is still …

This study investigates the influence of the river flow regime type on the e-flows releases
and hydropower production, constrained by eight hydrologically-based e-flows methods. For …

Glaciers in the European Alps play an important role in the hydrological cycle, act as a
source for hydroelectricity and have a large touristic importance. The future evolution of …

About 50% of all hydropower plants (HPPs) worldwide were originally commissioned more
than 40 years ago, so that the advanced age of the fleet is a major concern across all …

Sedimentation has a prominent impact on the functionality and lifetime of reservoirs and is a
growing concern for stakeholders. Various parameters influence sedimentation caused by …

Accelerating glacier melt rates were observed during the last decades. Substantial ice loss
occurs particularly during heat waves that are expected to intensify in the future. Because …

Small hydropower plants (installed power below 10 MW) are generally considered less
impacting than larger plants, and this has stimulated their rapid spread, with a developing …

Here we study the effects of climate change upon the dynamics of Santa Giustina Lake, a
main reservoir of Trentino, North-eastern Italy, exploited by Taio power plant providing about …

This paper analyses an energy recovery solution based on the Pump-as-Turbine (PaT)
technology applied in an oil refinery. Since under-ground water might be contaminated by …

Precipitation orographic enhancement is the result of both synoptic circulation and
topography. Since high-elevation headwaters are often sparsely instrumented, the …
