Dams themselves are not renewable; they are man-made structures that can last for decades or even centuries. However, the energy produced by hydropower plants associated with dams is considered renewable, as it harnesses the natural water cycle and can be replenished over time. The sustainability and environmental impact of dams can vary significantly based on their design, location, and management practices.
