Advantages :
Hydropower is a fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source. Hydropower does
pollute the air like power plants that burn
fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas.
Hydropower is a domestic source of
energy, produced in the United States.
Hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, thus it's a
renewable power source.
Hydropower is generally available as
needed; engineers can control the flow of
water through the turbines to produce
electricity on demand.
Disadvantages :
Hydropower plants can be impacted by drought. When water is not available, the
hydropower plants can't produce electricity.
New hydropower facilities impact the local environment and may compete with other
uses for the land. Those alternative uses may be more highly valued than electricity
generation. Humans, flora, and fauna may lose their natural habitat.
