Short summary

IAR-HP (Italian Alpine Region HydroPower) is a detailed inventory of large hydropower systems in Italy's Alpine Region, aimed at improving their inclusion in hydrological modeling by providing relevant information with a consistent level of detail. It includes structural, geographic, and operational data for over 300 hydropower plants and their related reservoirs and water intakes. Validated through modeling, IAR-HP accurately reproduces observed hydropower, capturing 96.2 % of actual production.
