There are several hydroelectric power concerns,

* Building a dam/reservoir to harnes water may flood ecosystems and destroy ancestral lands of aboriginal peoples (a UN concern)

* Building the access infrastructure may open up natural forests to hunters and tourists * Doing the above to have electricity to sell out of the country may be seen as unwise by the citizens * Methane from flooded ares affects global warming - a world wide problem

Which is the greatest negative effect of obtaining hydroelectric?

The greatest negative effect of obtaining hydroelectric power is the disruption of local ecosystems caused by dam construction. This can lead to habitat loss for aquatic and terrestrial species, altered water flow, and changes in sediment transport, which can significantly impact biodiversity. Additionally, the flooding of large areas for reservoirs can displace communities and affect local economies. These environmental and social consequences often raise concerns about the long-term sustainability of hydroelectric projects.

Wherever the process is in use, it's caused by human engineering.
