This open access book presents (selected) new and innovative developments for sustainable and fish-friendly hydropower. It offers unique insights into the challenges, practices and policies of hydropower developments across 8 European countries, providing examples from on-site studies and European-wide analyses. The case studies throughout the book are practical “real-world” examples, which are intended to serve as inspiration for anyone who would like to know more about how solutions for more sustainable hydropower production can be designed and implemented. Hydropower is an important renewable energy source, which, however, can also impact aquatic ecosystems, fish populations and hydro-morphology. EU and national water, environmental and energy legislation strive for sustainable energy and water resource management as well as the protection of important habitats and species. These have an effect on the requirements and decision making processes for hydropower planning, commissioning and operation. With a high variety of measures existing and site-specific conditions as well as national and EU level legal requirements to consider, it can be difficult to determine, what issues to address and which measures to implement.

Der spannende und vielseitige Leistungsumfang der Ingenieure im Bauwesen wird in der Öffentlichkeit selten als solcher wahrgenommen. Dabei ist die Bauwirtschaft nicht nur eine der Schlüsselindustrien in wirtschaftlicher, sondern auch in sozialer bzw. gesellschaftlicher Hinsicht: Ohne Bauten und Infrastruktur ist unser modernes Leben schlichtweg unvorstellbar. Das Ziel der Publikation ist es daher, den Beruf des Ingenieurs - stellvertretend für die gesamte Branche - so darzustellen, wie er ist: faszinierend, kreativ, umfassend und innovativ.Ingenieurpersönlichkeiten und deren Innovationen werden dazu vor dem Hintergrund der jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Einflüsse dargestellt - von der Historie kommend mit dem Schwerpunkt auf aktuellen Projekten. The exciting and versatile range of activities performed by construction engineers is rarely fully appreciated by the public. Yet as well as being a key industry for the economy, construction is also important for society: Modern life without buildings and infrastructure would be simply inconceivable. With that in mind, this publication presents the engineering profession (and by extension the entire industry) as it really is: Fascinating, creative, diverse and innovative. Engineers and their innovations are presented in the context of their social, economic and political influences. The book combines an historical perspective with a focus on contemporary projects.
