Hydropower is a renewable energy source that generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing or falling water. Typically, water from rivers or dams is directed through turbines, causing them to spin and produce electricity. This process is efficient and produces minimal greenhouse gas emissions, making hydropower an environmentally friendly option. It has been used for centuries in various forms, and today it accounts for a significant portion of the world's energy supply. Hydropower not only provides electricity but also supports water management and can help control flooding in certain regions.
