hydroelectric projects

Hydroelectric projects harness the power of flowing water to generate electricity. They typically involve building a dam on a river, creating a reservoir. When water is released from the reservoir, it flows through turbines, which spin and activate generators to produce electrical power. This renewable energy source is clean, as it doesn’t emit greenhouse gases during operation. Hydroelectricity can help meet energy needs, regulate water flow, and support infrastructure. However, it may also impact ecosystems and local communities, making careful planning essential for sustainable development.
