Renewable Energy [Episode 6] Hydropower

Hydropower, also known as hydroelectric power, is a renewable energy source that harnesses the energy of flowing water to generate electricity. This clean and sustainable form of energy production relies on the gravitational force of water as it flows downstream, typically in rivers or through man-made dams and reservoirs. Hydropower plants use turbines and generators to convert the kinetic energy of moving water into electrical energy. It is a reliable and eco-friendly energy source that produces minimal greenhouse gas emissions, making it an essential component of the global effort to transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. Hydropower plays a crucial role in providing electricity for homes, industries, and communities around the world while reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating the impact of climate change.
