Dataset: Vulnerability of the hydropower sector, run-of-river power plants approach (ClimWatAdapt project, 2025)

Run-of-river power plants are built in the rivers rely on the river discharge for being operational. In the context of the WFD, a “Good Ecological Status” has to be achieved, which means for this type of stations that the residual flow must equal the minimum water requirements for aquaticecosystems (Stigler et al. 2005). Here, we use the concept of Q95 for the residual flow and set the baseline Q9 ... (read more)
