Hydroelectric power stations are being built in rainforests primarily to harness the abundant water resources for renewable energy production. These regions often have significant river systems that can generate substantial electricity, providing power to growing populations and industries. However, such projects can lead to environmental concerns, including habitat destruction and displacement of local communities, raising questions about sustainability and ecological impact. Balancing energy needs with environmental preservation remains a critical challenge in these developments.
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
for the passage of flood discharge
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
The dam is being built for the same reason Hoover Dam was built; to use hydroelectric power to make electricity.
They are built on flat land because the dams in the power station cannot be tilted.This is because the dam would be tilted and wouldn't be secure to build.

Firstly, the topographer makes a detailed study of the topography on the local, in which the hydroelectric power plant will be built. Then on an appropriate place the terrain is lowered to form the waterfall which will move the turbines that will generate electricity. The river is blocked to form a huge dam and it has a channel to make the water fall from the top of the dam. Many stages to be followed until the turbines begin to generate electricity.
The first one was built in 1882 in Wisconsin
