Аннотация: The history of hydropower development is briefly discussed, and the present state of global hydropower engineering is considered. Three basic types of hydropower structures (impoundment, run-of-the-river, and pumped storage) are described. The major classes of dams (embankment, gravity, arch, and buttress) are characterized. The impacts of different natural processes (floods, earthquakes, karst, landslides, river erosion, etc.) on hydropower structures are examined. The effects of reservoirs on natural components (surface and ground waters, soils, vegetation, animal kingdom, atmosphere, and the geomorphologic and geological environment) and socioeconomic components (health, social, and cultural impacts) are described. A comparative evaluation of the environmental cleanness of different types of energy production is given. The greatest catastrophic failures of dams are discussed.
