Good living of communities and sustainability of the hydropower business: mapping an operational framework for benefit sharing

The negative impact of hydropower companies is cushioned frequently through compensation that is proportional neither to the needs of communities nor to the energy business. Considering the dependence of hydropower on the environment, it is unclear how the good living of communities can be combined with the long-term sustainability of power companies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish a benefit sharing scheme between hydropower companies and local communities. We conducted a systematic literature review using a sequential mixed-method approach. In the first stage, we performed a quantitative bibliometric analysis, and its results, described in Model 1.0, were the basis of the second stage. Consequently, in the second stage, we conducted a content analysis of 40 documents to enrich the previous version of the model in Framework 2.0. After completing both the methodological stages, we prepared a theoretical operational framework for benefit sharing based on collaborative governance that assigned different specific weights for companies and local communities. Equal benefit sharing is the result of an adaptive process that depends on (1) the performance of companies, (2) the level of empowerment of communities and (3) the state’s capacity to intervene in setting rules of engagement that help reduce power asymmetries between companies and the society.

Hydroelectric energy is a widely used technology in 180 countries benefiting in 2020, this source has 140 years of development, represents 16% of the energy generated in the world and 63% of renewables. The objective of this manuscript is to develop a state of knowledge that analyzes scientific theories, hypotheses and projects to propose this review as a robust theoretical framework to understand the effects and advantages of hydroelectric energy in Asia. For the review, the methodology collected scientific information from publishers such as Elsevier, Taylor & Francis and Springer. The Asian continent was selected due to the representative number of hydroelectric projects, and to represent more than 30% of the world's hydroelectric generation, having the largest installed capacity. According to studies in thirteen Asian countries, over future projections, hydropower potential decreases over time in part due to the deep interaction between water and its location, variations in climate change and opposition from people near the sources. projects in often remote areas. The prominence of hydroelectricity will gradually change from a stable generation as a complementary source of other renewable energies. On the other hand, hydroelectricity, as the largest renewable source today, is competitive in generation price and responds to the growing demand of the population, therefore, to build sustainable energy systems, policymakers, engineers and builders must adopt procedures that organize projects based on sustainability criteria.

The present review compares and takes the main ideas around hydropower development in eight countries of the American continent, identifying its advantages and disadvantages, showing a vision concerning sustainability. It is conclusive that there are impacts for each megawatt produced with hydropower, and the generation structure that uses the water resource of natural currents is not highly clean. Moreover, there is the mistaken criterion for developing a renewable hydropower project related to sustainability, a wrong approach, as demonstrated with the review. The examination in the eight countries of America some analyzes and the most concludes that, before considering a construction with thousands of dollars of investment and water contained in dams, the social and environmental analysis must respond to the restrictions on building new hydropower projects, promoting other unconventional renewable energy sources development. It is recommended to determine an objective quantitative approach of hydropower combining hydrology, energy efficiency, and interaction scenarios of future climate change to know the best energy grids diversifying balanced renewable and no renewable sources for each country.
