A basin covered with dense vegetation will show 1) less evaporation and 2) less seasonal variability in the rivers flowing to the reservoir. The more the water supply fluctuates through the year, the larger a reservoir needed to maintain a minimum level during dry months.
If deforestation occurs in a basin that supplies water for an existing hydro plant, seasonal variations may start to be observed (i.e., too much water during rainy months and not enough during dry months). Excess water will overflow the reservoir and is useless for power production. Eventually, power production will start to decrease and fuel plants will have to be used to produce the extra power during demand peaks as follows:
If the water level was ever allowed to go below the intake pipe, the turbines can no longer operate. Before that happens, the plant operators would selectively shut down turbines to reduce the rate of depletion of the reservoir, and during demand peaks the power that is not produced by the idle turbines would need to be produced by alternative sources, typically thermoelectric (fuel) plants.

Was the first hydroelectric power plant was built at Hoover Dam?
No, the first hydroelectric power plant was not built at Hoover Dam. The first commercial hydroelectric power plant was established in 1882 at Appleton, Wisconsin. Hoover Dam, which was completed in 1936, is one of the largest and most famous hydroelectric facilities, but it came much later in the development of hydroelectric power.

How is hydroelectric power is a usable energy?
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.

What uses Hydroelectric power?
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.)
