Response of Fish Communities to Hydrological and Morphological Alterations in Hydropeaking Rivers of Austria

Stefan Schmutz, +8 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an index of biotic integrity (Fish Index Austria) was used to compare river sections with varying degrees of flow fluctuations under near-natural and channelized habitat conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of small versus large hydropower in Norway– comparison of environmental impacts

Tor Haakon Bakken, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the accumulated environmental impacts from 27 small-scale hydropower plants with 3 large-scale dams and showed a slight tendency that large dams have a lower degree of environmental impacts than many small dams.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water consumption from hydropower plants – review of published estimates and an assessment of the concept

Tor Haakon Bakken, +5 more
- 15 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of unstructured data by using the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (CC3.0) for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstrating a new framework for the comparison of environmental impacts from small- and large-scale hydropower and wind power projects

Tor Haakon Bakken, +6 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The results show that small-scale hydropower performs less favourably in all parameters except land occupation, which demonstrates that the selected four parameters provide a basis for further development of a fair and consistent comparison of impacts between the analysed renewable technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The life-cycle water footprint of two hydropower projects in Norway

Tor Haakon Bakken, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the life-cycle water consumption of two Norwegian hydropower plants, one is a typical run-of-river plant located in southern Norway (Embretsfoss 4) and the other is a reservoir-based plant in mid-Norway (Trollheim).
