Hydro-power is an interesting renewable source. It can be as simple as a water wheel turning shafts to work machinery.
A modern type of hydro power are the massive hydroelectric dams around the world.
Hydroelectric power the good the bad and the ugly.
The good is power for generations, once built yield a reliable source of fresh water and consistent efficient power supply.
The Hoover Dam was built in 1922 and it is still an active source of energy, it also supplies three of the most highly demanding states in the U.S. California, Nevada and Arizona.
The Bad is hydroelectric dams effect the Eco-system and marine life it destroys fish and changes the flow of rivers and streams. Artificial flooding to create the capacity of water. For instance the three Gorges Dam in China in its construction saw millions of forced to move from their habitat. The unnatural flooding and unnatural flow of water has buried usable arable land and a historic loss of important archaeological sites and monuments.
The Ugly is that hydroelectric has a high price and its adverse impact and effects on the habitat around it puts on in the ugly list. It is believed by some that a dam produces methane and carbon dioxide, and it displaces towns and villages and mass areas of agricultural land is lost
I hope this helps you.

hydropower is affected by the sun because hydropower is water energy and the sun can evaporate or cause droughts and that will cause the energy to slow or stop so it is affected

Hydropower creates electricity.
International Hydropower Association's motto is 'Advancing Sustainable Hydropower'.
Hydropower technology
The purpose of hydropower is to generate electricity.
yes hydropower is renewable. renewable means it will be there for ever. as long as water is on the earth we will have hydropower.
Hydropower
my oppinan is that hydropower is a disadvantage because it can be very exspencive
The source of energy that is hydropower is falling or running water. China, Canada, Brazil and America are the biggest producers of hydropower. Niagara Falls is one of the largest hydropower sources in the world.
the hydropower was used by greeks and in 250 b.c
heck yes what do you think i am, insane! as long as there is water flowing there will be hydropower.
No, hydropower is not chemical energy. It is potential plus kinetic energy.
It is formed by the turbines in the dam that lets water flow.Hydroelectric power is created by flowing water. As the water flows, it powers machines that are able to generate electricity.
