The Bulletin is intended as a general document aimed at a wide technical audience involved with or affected by hydropower. Basic background data and some statistics are presented, with specific reference to hydro-electricity production, hydropower dams, hydropower plants, in operation or under construction. Key aspects of hydropower are discussed. Data are presented about typical capital and both internal and external operating costs. Environmental and social impacts are discussed and reference is made to the impact reservoirs have on greenhouse gas emissions. A section is dedicated to the exploitation of tidal energy by means of barrage systems. The current extent of hydropower development and the influence of policies aimed to favour the development of renewable energies are also discussed. Reference sources of information, on hydropower in general and interesting case-histories, are provided.

Le Bulletin se veut un document general destine a un large public technique implique ou affecte par l'hydroelectricite. Des donnees de base et quelques statistiques sont presentees, avec une reference specifique a la production hydroelectrique, aux barrages hydroelectriques, aux centrales hydroelectriques, en fonctionnement ou en construction. Les principaux aspects de l'hydroelectricite sont discutes. Les donnees sont presentees sur le capital type et les couts de fonctionnement internes et externes. Les impacts environnementaux et sociaux sont discutes et il est fait reference a l'impact des reservoirs sur les emissions de gaz a effet de serre. Une section est dediee a l'exploitation de l'energie maremotrice au moyen de systemes de barrage. L'ampleur actuelle du developpement hydroelectrique et l'influence des politiques visant a favoriser le developpement des energies renouvelables sont egalement abordees.
