Hydropower
Imagine harnessing the boundless energy of cascading water, converting it into clean
electricity that illuminates homes and powers industries. This is the magic of
hydropower, a renewable energy source that has served humanity for centuries and
continues to hold immense potential for a sustainable future.
Hydropower plants capture the kinetic energy of flowing water, typically by constructing
dams across rivers. As water tumbles down from the dam's higher reservoir, it spins
turbines housed within the dam, driving generators that produce electricity. This simple
yet powerful process taps into the Earth's natural water cycle, endlessly replenishing
itself and leaving behind no harmful emissions.
