hydroelectric power generation

Hydroelectric power generation harnesses the energy of flowing water to produce electricity. It typically involves building a dam on a river, creating a reservoir. When water is released from the reservoir, it flows through turbines, causing them to spin. This spinning motion drives generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Hydroelectric power is a clean and renewable energy source, as it does not produce emissions or consume fuel. It is one of the largest sources of renewable electricity worldwide, contributing to energy security and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
