construction of newer Dams in specific locations with higher Water bodies will bring about job opportunity‚ Encouragement of Agriculture (in the area of irrigation)‚ Fish rearing amongst others. And also‚ low cost of maintenance‚ compared to nuclear power Plants. HOW TO GENERATE HYDROPOWER ENERGY Hydro-electricity‚ or hydro-power‚ is usually generated by turbines in a dam in a river. The dam means that a great body of water builds up in the river valley behind the dam. This is released through

ydroelectric Power!Hydroelectric Power There’s more to this water sourced energy than meets the eye! Hydroelectric energy is the simplest and first technology to generate electricity. It was first developed using dams‚ timber‚ or granite. Using this –with the requirements of one gallon of water falling 100 feet- creates 1000 watts of electricity. There are currently 30 major power plants generating more than 2000 megawatts under construction. They have been running for many years. But wait‚ there’s

when establishing the chlorophyll a criteria. For example‚ reservoirs associated with “run-of-the-river” dams typically have small hydraulic head‚ limited storage area and short retention times and are less likely to be susceptible to conditions that can lead to eutrophication or promote excessive algal growth. In contrast‚ reservoirs associated with larger dams‚ such as storage or hydroelectric dams‚ are more likely to have longer retention times‚ providing a greater potential for incoming nutrients
