Description
Book SynopsisToday, new and unexpected challenges arise for Europe's large array of existing dams, and fresh perspectives on the development of new projects for supporting Europe's energy transition have emerged. In this context, the 12th ICOLD European Club Symposium has been held in September 2023, in Interlaken, Switzerland.
