Growing public concern about global warming has caused a renaissance of new environmentally sustainable hydropower projects. 

In the U.S., hydropower generation is being retrofitted to existing dams or water resource projects.  Overseas, new hydropower  projects are being developed, often as part of new multipurpose water resource projects built to provide water needed to sustain human and environmental needs.

Hydropower is a very  experience oriented technology.  Although every project is unique, many of the solutions developed  on previous projects can be adapted to meet the challenges of today.  CAI provides teams of hydropower experts whose experience is essential in planning and implementing successful hydropower projects. Our expertise includes:
