Hydropower and Dams (H and D) : Strengthening Climate-Informed Project Design
The growing impact of climate change on the design and operations of dams and the inherent complexity of dam projects (often multi-purpose) require the capacity to adopt increasingly strict global standards and to mainstream resilience and low-carbon considerations in water infrastructure in which dams are a critical component. Dams and reservoirs are both helpful for applying water resources management principles to build resilience to climate change and vulnerable to risks related to climate change.

| Summary: | The growing impact of climate change
on the design and operations of dams and the inherent
complexity of dam projects (often multi-purpose) require the
capacity to adopt increasingly strict global standards and
to mainstream resilience and low-carbon considerations in
water infrastructure in which dams are a critical component.
Dams and reservoirs are both helpful for applying water
resources management principles to build resilience to
climate change and vulnerable to risks related to climate change. |
