The bulletin is structured to present the global and local role of water storage in the modern world and provide the basis for multi-purpose developments in the context of the hydrological cycle, the water-energy nexus, stakeholder engagement and environmental assessments.

The bulletin explores the economic and financial prospects of multi-purpose projects and the need for long-term planning, including reservoir conservation, as well as the challenges of forecasting long-term scenarios. It deals with the institutional and procurement aspects of infrastructure development and management, also addressing water governance and its interface with corporate governance. Drawing on case studies, the bulletin then presents structural and non-structural solutions to improve development, operation and management, and illustrates how water conservation and adaptive management are essential to obtaining the social license to operate reservoirs and their ancillary infrastructure. The bulletin concludes with a presentation of essential elements and emerging trends, as well as a technique for assessing the relative criticality of essential elements as they evolve throughout a reservoir's life cycle.
