2025 World Atlas of Hydropower & Dams

A detailed global reference for hydropower and dam infrastructure

Good condition - Noticeable surface wear and light creasing on the cover

One of the main editorial features of the World Atlas is the comprehensive world survey of hydropower and water resources development. This is researched and updated each year, and today represents input from 180 countries (all those with active hydropower development programmes underway).

The individual country reports (arranged by continent) are based on the responses to detailed questionnaires which are sent each year to high level contacts at national and regional power and water authorities worldwide, and some national committees of professional associations.

Based on our country reports, an annual synthesis of world developments is prepared.

Editorial Comments, reflecting the state-of-the-art of water resources development, dam and hydro engineering, and irrigation and drainage, are contributed each year by the Presidents of international professional associations such as ICOLD, ICID, IWRA and others.
