Text:
Hydropower or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into
electricity. It is considered as the largest contributor of all renewable energy sources and accounts for
6.7% of worldwide electricity production. Further growth of this mature technology may be possible,
though many countries have already developed cost-effective sites.
Hydropower is an abundant, low cost source of power (where applicable) despite high upfront
building costs. It is also a flexible and reliable source of electricity compared to other renewable options,
as it may be stored for use at a later time. Dammed reservoirs can also help with flood control, be a
reliable water supply, and they may be used for recreational purposes.
However, there are many concerns with hydropower, particularly large dam facilities. A river’s
damming has a significant impact on the regional ecosystem, by flooding upstream landscapes,
disrupting habitats for wildlife, blocking fish passages, and often displacing local communities. In
addition, its failure can be catastrophic, further disrupting landscapes and claiming the lives of those
living downstream.
