Hydropower is fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source, meaning it won't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas.Hydroelectric power is a domestic source of energy, allowing each state to produce their own energy without being reliant on international fuel sources.

Advantages of using hydroelectricity over thermal electricity are:

-hydroelectricity uses water unlike the thermal electricity which uses fossil fuels to produce electricity. Burning of fossil fuels pollute the air but hydroelectricity is pollution free

-thermal electric plants are costlier compared to hydroelectric plants.

-hydroelectricity is domestic source of energy thus, state can produce it's own without depending on international fuels like thermal electricity

-hydroelectricity doesn't affect the ecological balance
