Popis: Hydropower holds the dominant position among renewable energy sources. It is the third-largest source of electricity in China, after coal and gas power. Although hydropower development has brought about many benefits, but it also have many influence on the ecological environment. This paper discusses the direct and indirect environmental effects of hydropower development. Ecological restoration measures are put forward from the perspective of engineering restoration, vegetation restoration, and aquatic ecosystem restoration. It provides a theoretical basis for the ecological protection of hydropower development.
