Abstract
This chapter looks at world view of hydropower development and management in the world—the key successes and the key failures. From the surveyed case studies, the authors recommend the following measures for sustainable development of future hydropower projects: stakeholder dialogue and involvement; adequate investigation before, during, and upon completion of the project; community management of small hydropower plants; favorable policies; adequate funding; prioritization of possible impacts of climate change; and hydrologic uncertainties on energy generation and constructive public protest where adverse impacts cannot be mitigated. These lessons are key for emerging economies such as the West African Region.
