Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydropower energy is known as green and renewable energy due to the fact that it relies on the water cycle in nature to generate electricity. The normal water cycle in a basin can be affected by many factors such as human activities, deforestation, urbanization, land use change, etc. leading to cause local or global climate change. However, sustainable hydro-energy development is very dependent on hydrological conditions which can significantly be affected by climate change consequences. The main scope of this special issue is to investigate and evaluate the effects of local or global climate change on hydropower generation and to find proper solutions. All types of manuscripts related to the statistical, numerical, or analytical analysis of climate change impacts on hydrological conditions, rivers, dams, and hydropower are welcomed.
