“…Other positive impacts are related to the local alleviation of pollution by diesel generators and the improvement of social well-being (e.g., Arnaiz et al, 2018). As far as we know, the technology of micro-hydropower plants has not been used in the Amazon region, although studies had pointed out its potential impact on the renewable energy generation in the region for almost 35 years (Nogueira et al, 1993;Blanco et al, 2008;van Els and Brasil Junior, 2015).…”

Brazil is a powerhouse in terms of water resources, which are instrumental to the country’s transition to sustainability. However, to realize this potential, substantial management and conservation hurdles must first be overcome. We propose a novel strategy for the use, management, and conservation of Brazilian water resources. Our approach recognizes the spatial heterogeneity of water abundance and is based on a multisectoral perspective, including energy, food, sanitation, and environmental conservation. The main recommendations are to adopt low-cost local and subnational solutions and to design policy mixes, both based on the logic of the nexus water-food-energy-ecosystem. We offer as examples programs that 1) increase cistern infrastructure in drylands, 2) use constructed wetlands to improve sewage treatment in small cities and vulnerable areas, 3) turn the focus of conservation to aquatic ecosystems, 4) stimulate the adoption of small hydrokinetic turbines for energy generation in sparsely populated river-abundant regions, such as the Amazon Region, 5) diversify the matrix of renewable energy sources by combining hydropower with biomass and wind energy generation, and 6) mixes policies by integrating multiple sectors to improve regulation, use and management of water resources, such as the Brazilian “Water for All” Program. By following these recommendations, Brazil would align itself with the goals established in international agreements and would turn its abundance of water resources into development opportunities.

“…In accordance with the risk model, we identified 11 main risk elements, that one can divide into 3 groups (Table 5). (Berkun, 2010;Bui, 2019;López-González, 2019;Mai and Wang, 2017;Nogueira, 1993;Sachin, 2012;Nunes and Genta, 1996).…”

The aim of this study is to examine the issues of energy development and hydroelectric potential utilization of the rivers in the Chechen Republic. One gives a brief description of the river network and performs the hydroelectric potential's calculations of large and small rivers. One estimates the hydroelectric potential at about 4.86 billion kWh. The share content of hydroelectric resources constitutes 3682.7 kWh/1 km 2 of the territory. We attribute special attention to the potential assessment of rivers within the mountainous part of the territory. The estimated gross potential of mountain rivers alone is 2.4 billion rubles kWh, and technical -0.55 billion kWh. One note that the development of small hydropower is an important factor of improvement in regard to the socio-economic conditions of the population's life and territory's energy security.
