39 I n 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development produced a
landmark environmental document. The Brundtland Report established a direct link
between the economy and the environment, stat- ing that the protection of the
environ- ment entails that the economic condi- tion of the world’s poor be
improved. The report also defined and popular- ized the term sustainable
develop- ment as “development that meets the needs of the people today without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Almost
20 years later, we are still struggling with the same environ- mental concerns,
despite the fact that we have practical solutions staring straight at us. What
appears to be missing is political will and long- term vision. Renewables and

Hydropower Hydropower systems convert hydraulic energy , the potential and
kinetic energy of water, into mechanical or electrical work. Long employed by
humans to provide useful work, hydraulic machines have evolved into high
efficiency converters that provide electricity at relatively low costs compared
to thermal converters, although the cost of hydroelectricity is intimately
linked to the regional impacts associated with the intervention in the natural
flow of surface waters. Atmospheric pollutant emissions are virtually
nonexistent, except during construction, but there is by no means a universal
consensus concerning the overall environmental benefits associated with
hydrosystem development, regardless of facility scale. Most hydrosystems utilize
