Short summary
Methane (CH4) emissions from hydroelectric reservoirs could represent a significant fraction of global CH4 emissions from inland waters. The monitoring of methane emissions every 2 weeks at nine stations in a subtropical hydroelectric reservoir revealed that emissions could occasionally be 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than expected for these man-made ecosystems. Upstream of the water intake, emissions are enhanced by the water column mixing that upwells CH4-rich water to the surface.
