Conventional hydroelectric, referring to hydroelectric dams. Run-of-the-riverhydroelectricity, which captures the kinetic energy in rivers or streams, without a large reservoir and sometimes without the use of dams. Small hydro projects are 10 megawatts or less and often have no artificial reservoirs.
In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for generating electricity. Cragsidein Northumberland was the first house powered by hydroelectricity in 1878[3] and the first commercial hydroelectric power plant was built at Niagara Falls in 1879. In 1881, street lamps in the city of Niagara Falls were powered by hydropower.
Since the early 20th century, the term has been used almost exclusively in conjunction with the modern development ofhydroelectric power. International institutions such as the World Bank view hydropower as a means for economic development without adding substantial amounts of carbon to the atmosphere,[4] but dams can have significant negative social and environmental impacts
