A number of conservation policies have been implemented to protect tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF), but many impact assessment models are targeted towards temperate zones. This study uses local evapotranspiration and streamflow datasets to calibrate and validate an improved version of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool model for the Tropics (SWAT-T).

This report presents results from a rapid eco-hydrological assessment to evaluate the impacts of deforestation on the Paraguay section of the Itaipu Dam. Itaipu Binational is one of the most economic and financially efficient hydropower projects in the world (WCD, 2000). However, our assessment qualitatively indicates that recently high deforestation rates in proximity to its multiannual reservoir may have increased substantially the potential amount of soils to be transported to the reservoir.

The rapidly expanding network of roads into the Amazon is permanently altering the world’s largest tropical forest. Most proposed road projects lack rigorous impact assessments or even basic economic justification. This study analyzes the expected environmental, social and economic impacts of 75 road projects, totaling 12 thousand kilometers of planned roads, in the region.
