What is Hydropower? �The hydropower is a type of renewable font of energy that derived from the energy of falling water and running water. Is a inexhaustible energy too. �Is a green energy, because it environmental impact is minimal.

Uses and operating way �We can use this energy for heating and electricity and it operating way is this: �The water enters at high speed from inside of the dam where it´s stored. �Then activates a turbine and the movement is converted into energy in the transformer. �This energy pass to a transformer and finally for it transportation to the powerlines.

Advantages �It is a clean renewable energy and energy efficient. �It is an inexhaustible energy. �It is green. �Is inexhaustible. �It's a completely clean energy, emits no fumes, no emissions toxic and does not cause any form of acid rain. �Allows storage of water to supply irrigation systems easily. �Are adjustable flow controls if there is a risk of flooding.

Disadvantages �The construction of large dams can flood significant areas of land. �Dams and reservoirs can be destructive to aquatic ecosystems. �Changes river´s ecosystem downstream.
