- A review of land use, visibility and public perception of renewable energy in the context of landscape impact (2020, background): “The most developed out of the technologies that were not included in the analysis were small hydroelectric dams, amounting to approximately 11% of the total installed capacity of hydropower globally (148 GW in 2016) [79], and offshore wind energy, with 18,8 GW of installed capacity globally [80].”
- Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity (2018, background): “These are matters of particular concern as a global boom in construction of hydropower dams is underway (Zarfl et al. , 2015; Winemiller et al. , 2016; Couto & Olden, 2018), and demands for water continue to grow, especially in arid regions, or those experiencing shortages as a result of climate…”
