| dc.description.abstract | Water infrastructure impacts on climate change are increasing with the shortage of resources all over the world. Dams are considered a major contributor to these impacts. Taking El Azzounieh dam (Lebanon) as a case study, this thesis investigates mitigation mechanisms to be introduced to dam design to reduce dams’ impacts on climate change, especially given several dam projects are due to be established in Lebanon under the CEDRE umbrella. To acquire a better understanding of dam strategies, the thesis also explores the water policy in Lebanon. The thesis proposes an assessment approach to evaluate dams’ impacts on climate, through which a set of policy and technical solutions are suggested in order to mitigate dams’ impacts on climate. |
