This webinar will address how Envision applies to hydropower infrastructure across commonly used project scales, from micro and small run-of-river schemes to medium and large storage and diversion projects. The presentation features a case study of the Satluj basin in India, where public environmental and social impact assessments, a government expert group's appraisal, an independent technical critique, and a current regulatory compliance filing are available across three large hydropower projects built over two decades. These documents are read against Envision's credit criteria to identify three recurring practices: environmental flow set by a fixed percentage rather than a defined ecological method, cumulative basin-level analysis conducted after clearance rather than before it, and rehabilitation tracked by expenditure rather than by restored livelihoods. The webinar maps these findings to selected credits across Envision's five categories, with detailed treatment of planning, stakeholder involvement, water resources, equity, long-term monitoring, and climate resilience. Attendees receive this credit map along with a one-page planning-stage checklist.
