This book focuses on the strategic approaches to create achievable goals via effective interpretation of geology and seismicity of site-specific consideration of hydro project site. It systematically addresses climate change issue that would lead to anticipate, to prepare for, and to respond to the hazardous events or severe disruptions caused by the climate change and to absorb the stress. It explains how hydropower energy is compatible to low carbon trajectory to meet the ambitious goal of Zero Carbon universe.

- Focuses on concept and principles, challenges and constraints, contribution, and role, of hydropower in the current energy mix

- Provides state-of-the-art in the construction of dams for hydropower

- Assesses climate change risks and identifies climate resilience measures

- Focuses on concept of resilience to include the hydrological aspects of climate change and non-stationarity

- Explores geological, geotechnical, geophysical parameters to design data for the revision of structural stability as per site condition

This book is aimed at professionals in hydropower engineering, dam construction, geotechnical and geological engineering.
