Climate Change Adaptation Measures Toolbox
This page provides a comprehensive and easy to use toolbox of possible adaptation measures. Please select one or more of the group filters below to obtain detailed information on the measures of interest.
Please find more information in the ICPDR Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Adapting hydroelectric management
Raise low water by means of adaptive control of reservoirs
Implement ecologically sound hydropower systems
Introduction of integrated water resource management
Promotion of efficient cooling systems
Increase security of water-powered structures against overflowing, e.g. by storage power plants optimization or development of the wastewater systems in central energy industry plants to ensure better removal of rainwater
Introduction of integrated water resource management
Optimisation of the management of cooling water demand as part of the river basin management plans, including hydro peaking, minimum flow, and reservoir management (in particular under low flow conditions)
Increasing the transfer of water
Re-commissioning of small and medium hydro power plants
Implement an effective load management, such as reducing peak demand in periods of short supply by e.g. applying both load and climate condition forecasting models
