“…Energies 2022, 15, 4498 2 of 20 reduction in the rivers water level, the water stored is slowly released from the sedimentary basin into the river. Existing projects with the intent of flood control, irrigation, and some water storage are present in the lower Indus basin in Pakistan [13]. The Indus river has 15 barrages and headworks used to diverge the river flow into irrigation channels [14][15][16], as shown in Figure 1.…”

Groundwater storage is an important water management solution that is overlooked by several countries worldwide. This paper evaluates the potential for storing water in the Bananal sedimentary basin and proposes the construction of canals to reduce sediment obstructions in the river flow and harmful flood events. This would allow for better control of the water level. The water stored in the sedimentary basin can be used as a climate change adaptation measure to ensure that the level of the flood plain is maintained high during a drought or low during an intense flood event. Additionally, the flood plain will function as a water reservoir, regulate the river flow downstream from the flood plain, and enhance hydropower generation. A significantly smaller reservoir area is expected to store water, as the water will be stored as groundwater in the sedimentary basin. Results show that the Bananal basin has the potential to store up to 49 km3 of water, which can add up to 11.7 TWh of energy storage to the Brazilian energy matrix for a CAPEX energy storage cost of 0.095 USD/kWh. This is an interesting solution for the Araguaia basin and several other basins worldwide.

“…great challenges to the smooth operation of the power grid, resulting in a certain degree of abandonment of wind and hydro [6][7]. Cascade hydropower stations have the advantages of a wide range of power generation regulation and large energy storage capacity [8]. The solar-hydro joint dispatch is carried out on the source side.…”

Solar, wind, hydro, and biomass energy sources are clean, sustainable, safe, and ecologically acceptable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels [1][2][3][4]. With the growing intensity of environmental and resource issues, low-cost, robust wind-solar power generation has developed as a comparatively fast-growing new energy power generating technology in the power system. Large power outage will have a great impact on the economy and people's life [5]. However, due to the intermittency and volatility of renewable energy such as wind and solar, it affects the safety of the power supply system and increases the cost of rotating reserve, which brings

“…In order to guarantee a large installed capacity and capacity factors higher than 30e40%, the catchment area must be high. This significantly reduces the potential of the technology in steep mountainous regions [6]. Additionally, storage reservoirs might also be required to regulate the flow of the river [7] to increase the capacity factor and economic viability of the plant.…”

“…Despite the above mentioned complexity of hydropower development its role in the power system remains crucial [13] and is an established facilitator for the multipurpose uses of water, such as flood and drought mitigation, water storage, fishery, leisure, and for variable renewable energy sources' integration to the grid, as shown for example in the case study of West Africa [14]. Furthermore, in multiple studies the hydropower with reservoir became a foundation for solar-hydro [15,16], wind-hydro [6,17] and wind-solarhydro [18] complementary operation.…”
