The existing Global Initiative components, particular those in West Africa, will be the learning laboratories for future components. They will provide excellent insight into which dams are most promising for reoperation and the most successful techniques to apply. NHI will next explore building components in Brazil (with The South American Conservation Region of The Nature Conservancy), India, Southeastern Africa and possibly the Mekong Basin in Southeast Asia. NHI has already made preliminary explorations of potential partnerships for dam reoperation in India and have received a positive response from National Institute of Hydrology. The India component will likely focus on the Krishna basin.
