HYDRO HEADWAY

摘要

The number of applications to build new hy-dropower projects in North America is on the rise amid pressure to reduce carbon emissions through the increased use of renewable resources for power production.rnMany of these new projects venture far beyond the traditional concept of hydropower production from man-made reservoirs. Developers are pursuing projects that extract power from ocean waves, river currents, irrigation canals, and water pipelines. Other new projects target existing dams originally built for flood control and navigation.
