Environmental Impacts of Hydropower and Alternative Mitigation Measures by Mohammed Mussa* in Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research in Lupine Publishers
Hydropower is an important renewable energy resource worldwide. However, its development is accompanied with
environmental drawbacks. The paper has reviewed the environmental drawbacks associated with hydropower projects. Change in
hydrological flow regimes, deteriorating water quality, migration corridors barriers, sedimentation, greenhouse gas emission and
biodiversity loss are environmental impacts of hydropower projects. Appropriate mitigation measures are required to sustainably
generate hydropower. These are also discussed in the paper.
