*There are very few commercially viable sites wer such energy can b xploited
*Leads to release of hydrogen sulphide which may cause unpleasant smell
*even if it is renewable ,there is possibility for depletion(as watr can now no more b considered as renewable)
*high installation cost
*Cant b easily transported
*There is possibility to flow out of stream
