What are run of the river hydroelectric projects? How far can run of the river hydroelectric projects balance ecological conservation with socio-economic development?

Run of river hydroelectric projects refer to reservoir based projects where river falling from a height is used for energy. Balance ecological conservation with socio-economic development: Issues: 1) Does not require huge infrastructure and diversion of river (No displacement) (Development induced displacement = 40% sos) 2) Sustainable electricity => Agriculture and electrification of local homes for future force 3) Employment in project and availability of water for women and children (SEOs water displace) Lack of technical proficiency, reservoir induced seismicity (huge dam) Floods and draughts (based on season) Rise in level of water (Displacement of vulnerable sections)

Lack of technical proficiency, reservoir induced sensitivity (huge dam) Floods and draughts (based on season) Rise in level of water (Displacement of vulnerable sections) Run of river projects can be improved by effective implementation of DPR act and WB based dam plans
