Projected increase in hydropower production in India under climate change [1]

Hydropower is a valuable renewable energy resource in India, which can help in climate change mitigation and meet the increasing energy demands. [2] However, the crucial role of climate change on hydropower production in India remains unexplored. Here using the observations and model simulations, we show that seven large hydropower projects experienced a significant (p-value < 0.05) warming and a decline in precipitation and streamflow during the observed period of 1951–2007.
