HERI – Research Actions Database

Welcome to the HERI Research Actions Database. The database provides details of past and present research actions related to all aspects of hydropower. The database has been structured following the categorisation developed for the HYDROPOWER EUROPE research and innovation agenda, and Strategic Industry Roadmap.

The database contents have been collated from a variety of organisations working on research actions across all sectors of the hydropower industry. The information has been share freely and is available as open access. You can search the database or add details of new initiatives to the database via the buttons below.

Waterjade: the global platform to predict water resources

Description

Water scarcity from environmental changes is taking its toll on numerous sectors, particularly the energy sector. The absence of effective methods to predict the quantities of water produced from snow and rivers represent a key issue for hydropower companies. The EU-funded Waterjade project is behind a new technology that exploits a range of data sources on weather predictability and satellite information. It aims to help prognosticate the water quantity expected per year with reliable precision. While Waterjade’s clients were initially hydropower plants, the project is now starting to work with public and private entities to predict conditions such as drought or avalanches.
