1.  Require suitable  locations and not many are available.
2.  Limited power generation capacity.
3.  Do damage a little the marine life.
4.   Require the construction of a dam and generators in hilly areas. Tough.  Takes a long duration.
5.  Power is not available throughout the year at uniform rate.
6.  Reduce the speed of water in the rivers.  So agriculture in the downstream may be affected.
