摘要: Hydropower is an important renewable energy resource worldwide. However, its development accompanied with environmental and social drawbacks. Issues of degradation the environment climate change can negatively impact hydropower generation. A sustainable project possible, but needs proper planning careful system design to manage challenges. Well-planned projects contribute supply energy. An up-to-date knowledge necessary for planners, investors, other stakeholders make informed decisions concerning projects. This basically a review paper. Apart from using expert knowledge, authors have also consulted extensively journals, conference papers, reports, some documents get secondary information on subject. The paper has reviewed world scenario how fits in as solution global challenge. availability, technology, been discussed. sensitive state environment, change. With change, though globally potential stated slightly increase, countries will experience decrease increased risks. Adaptation measures are required sustainably generate hydropower. These discussed
