Historical locations are available from Rivas López (2020).<br>The date are based on the methodology of Gernaat et al. (2017), which identifies sites suitable for hydroelectric power plants at near-global coverage. Here we apply the methodology for multiple combinations of GCMs and global hydrological models (GHMs). We further combine it with projections for future hydropower usage from integrated assessment models (IAM), i.e. taking into account the projected expansion of hydropower caused by rising energy demands and/or climate change mitigation. global -179.5 179.5 -89.5 89.5
