Very interesting analysis. I wonder what the future situation of these dams would be, under potential climate change scenarios. In Colombia, on the one hand, we find that most of the dams are located in areas with high vulnerability to extreme events, especially for a possible water shortage due to decreased rainfall, according to the 2nd NC to the UNFCCC, and on the other hand , we found an increase in the minimum temperatures, above 2700msnm. All this will have a major impact on existing dams, and it would be quite interesting to evaluate the possible economic, social and environmental impact of these possible changes.
