When it comes to wind turbines, placement is everything. Knowing how much wind an area has, what the speeds are and how long those speeds last are the crucial deciding factors in building an efficient wind farm. The kinetic energy in wind increases exponentially in proportion to its speed, ...

and also to hydropower generation. These water uses have received much attention in academic research [1,2,3,4]. Biophysical models and economic data on the social benefits related to these functions are typically relatively available to researchers and water managers. Only very limited attention ha...
