“…When reservoirs reach capacity, most dams function as run-of-the-river generating stations (Majumder & Ghosh, 2013), and we speculate this is what happened in the Saint John River under these higher flow conditions prior to water levels stabilizing in July.…”

Spatio-temporal patterns of benthic metabolism were measured to determine associations with substrate (cobble vs sand), channel location (main vs side channel), flow regulation (medium-head vs low-head) and temporal variability during the summer months. Benthic metabolism was estimated in two reaches of the Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada using benthic chambers. General linear models indicated gross primary production (GPP) and community respiration (CR) was greater in cobble substrate in June, but only GPP was greater in July. CR differed between channel locations in July with greater rates in the side channel. Assessment of flow regulation showed greater GPP in the medium-head reach during July and August, but greater CR in July only. Regression analysis indicated temporal variation in GPP was associated with light, whereas CR was associated with GPP and water temperature. Results demonstrate that there are strong spatial and temporal trends for benthic metabolism in a large river.

“…Hydropower plants are classified in different ways; it could be based on capacity, type of turbine or head (ENCO; Gagliano et al, 2014;Gatte and Kadhim, 2012;Haidar et al, 2012;Majumder and Ghosh, 2013). These various types of categorisation are presented in Table 5.…”

This study overviews the status of the power supply; implications of the inadequate power supply; and the significance of hydropower in the socioeconomic wellbeing of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study noted that despite the large presence of energy potentials across the entire region, the power supply is grossly inadequate. Currently, the world's highest population without access to electricity live in SSA and the number, which was 585 million in 2009 is expected to increase to 645 million in 2030. The supply of clean, affordable and adequate power in the region is compounded by the global energy trends, described as energy trilemma by the world energy council. These attributes are anchored in three pillars -energy equity, energy security and environmental sustainability. This article sees hydropower technology, which has been revolutionised over the years into different categories, as a vital modern energy source for clean power generation. The hydropower technologies discussed are large hydropower, small hydropower (SHP) and pumped storage hydropower. Hydropower provides clean, relatively cheap electricity, reliable and sustainable power supply. The study identifies SHP as a system that satisfies the modern energy attributes of low CO 2 emissions and environmentally friendly scheme, suitable for standalone and rural electrification.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze sustainability of the constructed projects (Djerdap 1 and 2) and feasibility of the planned ones (Djerdap 3) on the river Danube in the region of Iron Gate, with multi-criteria focus on technical, economical and environmental parameters. Design/methodology/approach The main objectives were achieved by using the methodology of a holistic multi-criteria approach. Electra method was applied. The design of the three projects on the international Danube River were analyzed, from technical, economical and environmental point of view, with the goal to manage a higher involvement of renewable resources. Findings The results of the research imply that the most profitable technical solutions cannot reach its realization and construction if the environmental quality criteria are not fulfilled and included in the multi-criteria optimization model. At the same time, the most sustainable and environmentally friendly technical solutions, such as the renewable hydro pump storage scheme, cannot be realized without proper project management and investment. Research limitations/implications The results and conclusions are valid for all the structures and projects of renewable resources, where there is a conflict to the environment. This research has implications to all decision-making processes focusing on holistic analyses of conflicted techno-economical and environmental parameters. Originality/value The value of the paper and research is in proving the necessity of simultaneous analyses of technical, economical and environmental impacts on the projects. All the results of the research are beneficial for stakeholders who intend to invest in renewable hydro energy resources, in the function of sustainable development.
