- Use of Reservoirs to Reduce Climate Vulnerability
A possible explanation for the impact of reservoirs in humid climates is that, during the wet period, the Southeast region of Brazil (between November and April), the average humidity is around 70% with low average wind speeds (INPE 2019). Thus, the evaporation is low and the additional evaporation, contributes to increasing regional precipitation,...
Apart from the impact of the construction of reservoirs, the operation of the reservoirs might also impact the regional climate. This relation could be analyzed comparing the precipitation in the region of Itaipú (Fig. 5 (a)) and Emborcação (Fig. 5 (b)), with the reservoir levels in the Southeast region, which is a good indicator of the reservoir f...
Climate change will increase the frequency and intensify floods and droughts (Ehsani et al. 2017). Having a clear indication that a particular year will result in severe floods in humid regions, more hydropower can be generated, reducing reservoir levels, as an approach to reduce the chances of precipitation and, thus, the impacts of floods. On the...
