Abstract:
Although the water reservoirs become a green accumulators of the modern era, their construction is still the subject of conflicting interests and discussions. The main goal of this research is to analyze all the purposes, advantages and disadvantages of big water reservoirs, as well as to check pros and cons of building large dams. The philosophy of sustainability and mater of environmental protection is more critical analyzed. One meter cube of water can be used for increasing a head and for energy production, flooding agriculture land or it can be used for irrigation and food production. One meter cube of the space behind the dam can be used for flood control, or for water supply, or for energy production. Different optimization models and its suitability for conflicting purposes of water accumulations will be presented. The subject of the strategy for renewable hydro projects adoption and decision making process will be discussed.
