The cost of hydroelectricity is relatively low, making it competitive source of renewable electricity. The hydrostation consumes no water unlike gas or coal plants. "The average cost of electricity from a hydrostation larger than 10 mega watts is 3 to 5 U.S.cents per killowatt - hour"
ADVANTAGES ARE
1) Hydropower is fueled by water so it is a clean fuel source.
2) Hydropower doesn't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels , such as coal or natural gas.
3) Hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun , Thus it is a renewable power source.

DISADVANTAGES ARE
1) Environmental Consequences of hydropower are related to interventions in nature due to damming of water, changed water flow and construction of roads and powerlines.

2) Hydroelectrical power plants may affect fish is a complex interaction between numerous physical and biological factors .
