Several small hydro power stations are better than one large hydro power station of the same combined capacity, from the perspective of environmental impact. true or False
Answers
Hydropower is a renewable energy resource power. Small but it is beautiful. It does better works than hydroelectric power. But now a days for degradation, climate change negatively impact on hydro power.
Proper hydro power gives sustainable energy. Hydropower is sensitive for climate changing now a days. Adaptation measure is required for hydro power energy.
Solution: Although hydro power stations are quite advantageous but its negative impacts on the environment is a bit questionable point.
When dams are built over the river, it changes the water flow and it even harms the aquatic life of the river or lakes.
Hence, small hydro stations can be advantageous as it would not affect the large area which the larger plants with same power output can.
