all electricity on a global scale, but its share
is growing rapidly.

Hydroelectricity is mostly generated in dams.
A great advantage of this technology is that the amount of
energy produced can be easily adjusted to the level of
demand by controlling the outflow of water.
However, there are certain problems related to dams, such as
high construction and maintenance costs, the risk of dam
breakage, and perils for water fauna. To avoid these
complications, dam less hydroelectricity has been created

A renewable resource that can be harvested for human use. This type
of energy is obtained by tapping the heat of the earth, which is mostly
