10.2 RBMPs and hydropower

<This section will be updated with the Commissions DG Environment evaluation of measures in relation to hydropower>

The effects of hydropower production are taken up in most of the RBMPs. The plans generally provide an overview of the plants and their location. River basins with hydropower schemes generally have several water bodies designated as heavily modified such as lakes and reservoirs that have their water levels regulated due to operation of the hydropower scheme e.g. storage of water during summer and hydropower production during winter; or river section that are affected by dams and/or changed  flow regime.
