Hydro-electric power

Hydro-electric power is a method of generating electricity using the energy of moving water. Typically, water from a river or dam is directed through turbines, which spin and activate generators to produce electricity. This renewable energy source is effective because it harnesses natural water cycles without burning fossil fuels, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions. Hydro-electric plants can provide reliable power and support energy demands, making them a crucial component of many countries' energy strategies. Their environmental impact can vary, depending on the scale of the operation and its effects on local ecosystems.
