Description: | Call for Abstracts - DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 7th DEC 2020BACKGROUNDHydroES 2021 is one of a series of conferences organised by SHF over the past decade with the support of French and European sponsors and partners. In the area of energy production, hydropower is an important tool supporting the energy transition process and the fight against global warming. It accounts for three quarters of the world's renewable energy production and still has substantial growth potential. The hydropower industry will make a major contribution to decarbonising electric power generation systems and will continue to play an important role in regional economic development.
