Climate Change Adaptation Measures Toolbox
This page provides a comprehensive and easy to use toolbox of possible adaptation measures. Please select one or more of the group filters below to obtain detailed information on the measures of interest.
Please find more information in the ICPDR Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Adapting hydroelectric management
Implement ecologically sound hydropower systems
Introduction of integrated water resource management
Introduction of integrated water resource management
Implement an effective load management, such as reducing peak demand in periods of short supply by e.g. applying both load and climate condition forecasting models
Reduce energy demand by public campaigns and training on energy efficiency
Optimisation of the management of cooling water demand as part of the river basin management plans, including hydro peaking, minimum flow, and reservoir management (in particular under low flow conditions)
Increasing the consideration of water temperature in water management, e.g. in heat load discharge
Updating of heat load and cooling water quantity / low flow management plans
Raise low water by means of adaptive control of reservoirs
Decrease the heat load in water bodies e.g. caused by cooling water
