sei-tnc-usaid-db-2015-mompos-depression-weap-cff18617b60f2c20.pdf
This fact sheet describes the development and application of an enhanced Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model to assess the impacts of hydropower expansion on the Mompos Depression and the broader Magdalena River Basin in Colombia. The modelling indicates that while hydropower development may regularize seasonal and low flows, it is unlikely to protect downstream communities from extreme floods and may disrupt critical ecosystem services provided by wetland inundation.

sei-tnc-usaid-fs-2016-hidroelectrica-depresion-momposina-hr-485e8ad23b98bcfe.pdf
This fact sheet describes the use of an enhanced Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model to analyze the impacts of hydroelectric expansion in Colombia's Magdalena River basin, specifically focusing on the Depresión Momposina wetlands. The study evaluates how current and planned dams affect water flow, sediment transport, and flood risks for local communities and ecosystems.
