Solutions, methods, tools, and devices

Developing new and existing methods, tools and devices (MTDs) to improve the environmental performance of hydropower is central in EU FitHydro, and a terminology frequently applied on formal documents from the project. Our understanding of these terms is;

• Solutions – these are the overall concept for how to solve or mitigate a problem

• Methods – these are typically descriptions in how to do something

• Tools - these are methods embedded in for instance a computer program / a model

• Devices – these are typically physical instruments or similar used to measure/control, something

Instructions for how to describe MTDs can be found in the MTD template.
