It depends on what type of water related potential energy you are tapping into to generate the power. There are essentially four types:
* Tidal power where you use the tides to fill abasindururing high tide and drain the water through a turbine during ebb and low tdes. * Wave power where you use the oscillation of the waves to activate pumps or turbine to store water at an elevation or generate power directly * Hydropower generated by water diverted from a natural reservoir where it originally fell over a cliff and now powers your turbines * Essentially the same as the above but the water is contained in a reservoir you construct by damming a river or stream then use the head to power your generators. All of these systems pollute and degrade the environment in some small measure by the construction of their infrastructure (roads, power lines, control buildings etc)
Only the creation of reservoirs has an ongoing emission, that is methane from the anaerobic decomposition of vegetation at the bottom of the reservoir.
What else can I help you with?
Why is hydroelectricity important?
Because it is a way to generate clean electricity, help preserve nature, also its renewable and leaves no pollution.
What could be done to prevent ozone pollution in the US?
There can be many things to prevent ozone pollution. Less CFC's and ground pollution can cause ozone pollution reduction.
Why is it important to prevent air pollution?
its important to stop prevent air pollution because it could cause death.
How do you prevent prevent noise pollution?
by sezig all the vehicles
Why is hydro-electricity?
We get electric power from falling water, and that will last when into the foreseeable future. Hydroelectricity is a renewal energy and has almost no pollution, once the dam is built.
How can as individuals prevent river pollution?
we can make people aware of harms of water pollution.
What is the definition of Pollution prevention?
to prevent polution
What can prevent land pollution?
it is simply DISCIPLINE.
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 was designed to?
this act was designed to prevent pollution :) As well as control pollution and encourage conservation.
Why is hydro-electricity good?
We get electric power from falling water, and that will last when into the foreseeable future. Hydroelectricity is a renewal energy and has almost no pollution, once the dam is built.
What are the 6 annexes in marine pollution?
measure to avoid marine pollutions by oil annex 1 measure to avoid marine pollution by noxious liquid substances annex 2 measure to avoid marine pollution by harmful substances annex 3 measure to prevent marine pollution by seawage from ship annex 4 measure to prevent marine pollution by garbage annex 5 measure to prevent marine pollution by air pollution annex 6
Who should prevent water pollution?
I think that we all should the positive thing of this is that there will not be water pollution
