Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is making dam safety improvements to water control structures at the Adam Creek spillway, and other nearby dams on the Mattagami River. The Little Long Dam Safety Project will increase the discharge capacity at the existing eight-gate Adam Creek spillway structure ...
and electricity generation in the Tennessee Valley, a region particularly impacted by the Great Depression. Norris Dam (131.4MW) on the Clinch River was one of the first dams built and was completed in 1936. The TVA is now the largest US public power company with 29 hydroelectric dams (Table...

1, left), which is in western China and is the largest tributary of the upper Yangtze River. It is the third largest dam with the height of 295m in the Yalong River Basin, and it is currently under construction. The other two large dams have been constructed and are in operation, and...
Since the original systematic map searches were conducted in 2017, additional studies on this topic are likely to have been published. Although not included in this review, the subtopic “the effects of alterations to flow magnitude due to dams with no hydroelectric facilities on fish abundance” ...

While these types of projects are less intrusive than large scale dams and reservoirs that are typically associated with hydroelectric, they can still pose environmental risks. The ramping rate at which water is diverted during start-up and shut-down causes fluctuating water levels in downstream ...
Potential impacts of these short-term, recurring disturbances of aquatic systems below dams are important considerations in hydropower development. Reduced biotic productivity in tailwaters may be due directly to flow variations or indirectly to a variety of factors related to flow variations, such as ...
