4 A quick developing world 1 Population growth & socioeconomic development billion High variant Medium variant 2 Water security 8 6 Low variant 4 3 Food and energy security Year 4 Ecological security

5 Freshwater availability per capita ,050 m 3 7,310 m 3 5,120 m 3 4,580 m 3

6 In 2025, water-stressed countries will increase to 48 countries with combined population of 3 billion

7 Adaptation to the impact of climate change Glacier smelting Extreme weather events

8 A major focus: Drought and water scarcity Drought in South West China in 2010

9 Large hydropower facilities have become a key milestone for green growth. Rachel Kyte, Vice President of WBG for sustainable development The era of the World Commission on Dams (WCD) has gone and the guidelines for sustainable development of dams and hydropower are used in practice. Investment in hydropower development (WBG, 2009)

10 Water storage for sustainable development World Declaration on water storage for sustainable development issued jointly by: ICOLD ICID IHA IWRA

11 hydropower generation to its economical potential by continents Developed 40% Developed 71% Developed 65% World Europe N America Developed 45% Developed 25% Developed 13% Australia Asia Africa

12 Accelerate dam construction and hydropower development for better use of water resources Developed countries in North America and Europe are shifting their priority to upgrade and reinforcement of existing dams. Most developing countries such as in Asia and South America have formulated plans to complete the task of hydropower development by Some countries and regions, especially in Africa, though with rich water resources and strong intention of developing dams & hydropower, mostly still face great difficulties for the lack of capital, technology, etc.. Countries suffering from political turmoil, though urgent for developing dams and hydropower, advance the construction very slowly due to the weak national strength and other unfavorable conditions.

13 Hydropower with the highest energy payback ratio and extremely low carbon emissions

14 Energy payback ratio: a case of thermal power station EPR = E nl ( E + E + E + E ) matl conl opl decl E nl = the net electrical energy produced over a given plant lifetime L E matl = total energy invested in materials used over a plant lifetime L E conl = total energy invested in construction for a plant with lifetime L E opl = otal energy invested in operating the plant over the lifetime L E decl = total energy invested in decommissioning a plant after it has operated for a lifetime L

15 Hydropower with the highest energy payback ratio

16 Hydropower with extremely low carbon emissions

18 The development of dams & hydropower is related with the socio-economic development. Indicators of dams & hydropower per capita storage capacity (Berga 2008) -the degree of development of the economic hydropower potential (Jia 2012) Indicators of socioeconomic development -the UN Human Development Index (HDI) weighted average of the per capita GDP, health and education

19 Correlation between the per capita storage capacity and HDI

20 Correlation between % of hydropower economic development and HDI

35 New concepts

36 Better development of dams & reservoirs 4 aspects to be improved Utilize and change nature 1 Cognition As well as Protect and adapt to nature Technologically feasible and economically reasonable Project safety and function realization National and collective interests 2 Decision making 3 Operation & Management 4 Benefit Sharing As well as Eco-friendly and social acceptable As well as Ecological compensation, safety and regulation As well as Stakeholders benefits

37 Ecological function

38 Dams & reservoirs keep healthy life of rivers To allow upkeep of minimum flows during dry seasons which enable the preservation of many aquatic animals and plants during droughts. To contribute to stabilizing ground water levels in adjacent land areas. To create new and biologically desirable habitats and to irrigate wetland biotopes or wetland forests.
