Explain the conditions necessary for development of hydro-electric power?
Answers
Explanation:
More height, more power per ballon. Stable, impermeable geology. You don't want a failing dam.
Answer:
Conditions necessary for hydroelectric power in India are:
1.Climate should be suitable i.e rivers should not freeze during winter.
2.Mountain area where water falls from a height should be available.
3.Permanent supply of water should be ensured by perennial rivers.
4.Water of river should be silt free.
5.A gorge between the two hills is most suitable site for building da
6.Reliable water (consistent rainfall/snow upstream).
7.Sufficient altitude change in a reasonable distance. More height, more power per ballon.
8.Stable, impermeable geology. You don’t want a failing dam.
9.Absence of environmental impediments — trees to hug, species to drive to extinction, cities to inundate.
10.Reasonable transmission distances.
