UNESCO/ IHA Project on the GHG Status of Freshwater Reservoirs

The GHG Research Project, hosted by the International Hydropower Association (IHA), in collaboration with the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) of UNESCO, aims to improve understanding on the impact of reservoirs on natural GHG emissions in a river basin, obtaining a better comprehension on current methodologies and helping to overcome knowledge gaps.


GHG Measurement Guidelines for Freshwater Reservoirs

A major milestone has been reached in the UNESCO/IHA Greenhouse Gas Status of Freshwater Reservoirs Project, with the publication of the GHG Measurement Guidelines for Freshwater Reservoirs, a landmark publication and the current standard on measuring GHG emissions from reservoirs.
