It's "fueled" by a natural process, rain. You don't have to go truck in railroad cars full of coal or pipe in petroleum products. As long as there is no severe drought (and it would have to be very severe, as such waterways typically have a lot of locks etc.) you have power. Since it neither adds nor subtracts from the water, it is nonpolluting.
Hydropower is a renewable energy source which can be environmentally neutral.
Conventional hydropower (dams, diversion, pumped storage), regarded as clean energy sources, may be superseded by emerging hydropower technologies (current, tidal, wave, thermal inversion) which would have minimal impact on the environment because they won't flood or divert the natural water flow.
It is very clean for the environment, it only uses flowing water to produce the energy.
After the initial cost of construction, you get lots of power, essentially for free, in perpetuity.
It is a renewable energy source, it is not harmful to the environment, there are no Co2 emissions. No burning of any fossil fuels, or harmful chemicals. it is cheaper in the long run.
1. Renewable
2. No Carbon burn
3. High energy return on investment
4. Create habitat
5. Create recreational activities
6. Prevent flooding
once the dam is made it produces hydro emeidiatly!
whatever you want the advantages to be.
One of the advantages of hydroelectric power is that it does not have a negative effect on the environment. Another advantage is that it is cheap.
One way is that it produces less CO2
One of the advantages of hydroelectric power is that it does not have a negative effect on the environment. Another advantage is that it is cheap.
The advantages counterbalance the disadvantages so there aren't disadvantages.
The advantages counterbalance the disadvantages so there aren't disadvantages.
Hydroelectric power stations certainly have their advantages and disadvantages, as do all forms of electrical generation. Probably the best solution is to use a combination of different means of producing electricity, with hydroelectric stations as part of the mix.
Hydroelectric power is made from water.
Advantages of dams:Dams are constructed based only on safetyIt is used to store waterIt used in hydroelectric power generationIt is used in irrigation purposes.
Hydroelectric power is produced by running water.
