About this HyPeak webinar:
The HyPeak network started in 2020 to enrich international research initiatives and support
hydropower planning and policy. In this webinar we initiate discussions about relations
between biological and physical processes in hydropeaked river, and how this best can be
mitigated and monitored in an ecologically sustainable way.
