摘要: Abstract: Hydropower, next to coal, is the second most important source of electric power supply in China. It amounted 20.4% nation's total installed capacity electricity generation 2011. To provide a comprehensive picture development hydropower China and its potential environmental impacts, this study calculates ecological footprint greenhouse gas emission reduction over past 60 years. The footprints include energy arable land occupation footprint. calculated terms area which would be used for reforestation order assimilate CO2 emissions from fossil consumption development. inundated by was 502 422 ha 2010 or about 0.3% ...
