What is the job of looking for water storage projects

Why is water storage important?

• Water storage provides three major services: improving the availability of water; reducing the impacts of floods; and regulating water flows to support energy, transportation, and other sectors. • At the same time, the regulation provided by storage can produce clean energy, needed to mitigate climate change.

Why do we need water storage and hydropower systems?

Large-scale water storage supports economic development, builds water security and buffers against increasing rainfall variability. Well-designed water storage and hydropower systems can enhance both climate change adaptation and mitigation, but such systems must also plan for a more extreme and variable climate.

How can we close water storage gaps?

Closing storage gaps will require a spectrum of economic sectors and stakeholders to develop and drive multi‐sectoral solutions. The proposed integrated water storage planning framework is grounded in sustainable development and climate resilience, with the potential to pay dividends for people, economies, and environments for generations.

Why is pumped water storage important?

Finally, pumped storage provides an important source of energy storage. • Freshwater storage is at the heart of adapting to climate change, most obviously by saving water for drier times and reducing the impact of floods.

Can large-scale water storage improve water security?

It also highlights good practices and lessons learned from past experiences and explores emerging opportunities for water storage schemes to enhance water, energy and food security in the future. Large-scale water storage supports economic development, builds water security and buffers against increasing rainfall variability.
