Please find more information in the ICPDR Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Adapting hydroelectric management
Promotion of efficient cooling systems
Introduction of integrated water resource management
Elaboration of strategies by the local public administration authorities in order to use energy sources which should comply with the European environment and efficiency norms
Updating of heat load and cooling water quantity / low flow management plans
Implement ecologically sound hydropower systems
Increasing the transfer of water
Investment and installation in the energy infrastructure such as in extreme peak load facilities, or alternatives (like storage) and in relocation and reinforcement of the Energy Grid and connections
Development of guiding principles on integrating environmental aspects in the use of existing hydropower plants
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)
Reduce energy demand by public campaigns and training on energy efficiency
