    Hydropower energy utilizes the kinetic energy of moving water to generate electricity and has been used for centuries. It comes in various types but generally involves using a turbine run by falling or flowing water to spin a generator. While it provides a large percentage of renewable energy worldwide, hydropower can impact local habitats by altering water flows and flooding land. Methods to reduce environmental effects include fish ladders and limiting reservoirs.
