Scenarios about 'hydroelectric development'
The construction and implementation of systems that generate electricity from flowing water, particularly through dams, reservoirs, and turbines. Hydroelectric development has transformed energy production since the late 19th century, enabling industrialization in many regions while simultaneously altering river ecosystems and often displacing communities. In alternate history scenarios, different patterns of hydroelectric development could significantly impact economic growth, population distribution, and geopolitical power dynamics.
