3. use of falling or fast-
running water to produce
electricity or any type of
mechanical energy.
This is achieved
by converting the gravitatio
nal potential or kinetic
energy of a water source to
produce power.
Hydropower is a method
of sustainable
energy production.
Hydropower is an attractive
alternative to fossil fuels as
it does not directly affects
the environment. Three gorges dam in china
is world’s largest power
station ,by installed
capacity
4. A watermill uses
a water wheel or water
turbine to drive a
mechanical process.
Watermill is used for
grinding , rolling,
or hammering.
Such processes are
needed in the
production of many
material goods,
including flour, lumber
paper, textiles, and
many metal products. Water mill
5. Hydro electricity is
the biggest
hydropower
application.
Hydroelectricity
generates about
15% of global
electricity .
6. For using hydropower on a
large scale we’ve to build large
structures which increases
carbon footprint.
Carbon foot print is a measure
of the amount of
carbon dioxide released into
the atmosphere as a result of
the activities of a particular
individual, organization, or
community.
Nevertheless hydropower is
more sustainable then fossil
fuels.
7. Hydropower is
renewable .
It is a cheap source
of energy.
It is inexhaustible
till the water cycle
goes on.
It emits low levels
of pollution.
8. Hydropower plant
alters the natural
conditions of region
where it is built.
It causes destruction
of habitats.
Its construction cost
is very high.
Failure of any
Hydropower plant
can cause tragedy.
