As per the data submitted in the 2013 IHA Hydropower Report, the installed capacity of the hydropower across the world has increased by around 30GW through 2012, and another 2-3GW was added by the pumped-storage, reports the hydroworld.com.
IHA noted that the growing demand for the supply of water and energy will boost the development of hydropower in the global market.
In addition, research and development in tidal and ocean hydropower will begin and is expected to contribute to the hydropower development.
The International Hydropower Association is a global non-profit organization committed for the development of sustainable hydropower.
