Rethinking dams: the true cost of hydropower | Earth And The Environment

Nature Geoscience and
Sustainability urge the public to reconsider its views on dams. The
Nature Geoscience study relays alarming data that debunks previous assumptions that hydrological dams are net carbon stores, demonstrating instead that dams release twice as much carbon as they store. Meanwhile, a collection of studies in
Sustainability report that only 17 percent of rivers globally are both free-flowing and within protected areas. The messages in these studies join together to ask: What does it mean for our planet that the vast majority of our river systems are dammed and what are the wider consequences of hydrological damming?
As the video above explains, there are over 60,000 large dams globally and over 3,700 more currently planned or under construction. Of those 3,700, over 500 will be built in protected areas - which begs the question, how protected can our remaining free-flowing rivers actually be? ....

Only 17 percent of free-flowing rivers are protected, new research shows

New science about the fate of freshwater ecosystems released today by the journal
Sustainability finds that only 17 percent of rivers globally are both free-flowing and within protected areas, leaving many of these highly-threatened systems¬ and the species that rely on them at risk.
Populations of freshwater species have already declined by 84 percent on average since 1970, with degradation of rivers a leading cause of this decline. As a critical food source for hundreds of millions of people, we need to reverse this trend, said Ian Harrison, freshwater specialist at Conservation International, adjunct professor at Northern Arizona University and co-editor of the journal issue. ....
