Fish can't spawn if a dam is in the way. You generally have to impound large amounts of water which interns floods large amounts of land destroying habitat of flora and fauna some of which maybe an endangered species
Hydroelectric power is used all the time. It has been estimated that hydroelectric power is responsible for up to 20% of the worlds electricity. A large percent of this from China.
Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.
The process of using falling water to spin turbines is called hydroelectric power.
Normally, hydroelectric power requires a dam and a turbine. It is possible to use a water mill instead of a dam.
Hydroelectric power is already one of the current methods and has been for well over 100 years. No it cannot completely replace other means of generating electricity. For one thing most western nations have already maxed out their usage of hydroelectric power and some have actually had to tear down some older dams due to environmental damage caused by the dam. Rivers that can be economically dammed to generate power are a very limited resource.
Hydroelectric power is made from water.
Hydroelectric power is produced by running water.
Some believe that the destruction of an environmental area is not worth the benefit to society; others simply question the production capability and reliability of hydroelectric power.
hydroelectric energy is energy that comes from water
hydroelectric power is an important for producing the power in the low loss of energy..energy is nothing but producing the power....so we can easily produce the power from hydroelectric power plant.
Hydroelectric power plants. They have dams and generators. Water flows through a dam, which spins generators that produce hydroelectric electricity. (Fun Fact: The Hoover Dam is the biggest hydroelectric power plant.)
Wind power, solar panels, hydroelectric, etc.
Water drives the turbines to generate hydroelectric power.
Hydroelectric power produces electricity by using water.
Čakovec Hydroelectric Power Plant was created in 1982.
Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station was created in 1924.
Dubrava Hydroelectric Power Plant was created in 1989.
