Answer:
Advantages :
1)Hydropower is a fueled by water, so it's a
clean fuel source. Hydropower doesn't
pollute the air like power plants that burn
fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas.
2)Hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, thus it's a
renewable power source
DISADVANTAGES:
1)the Hydropower plants can be impacted by drought. When water is not available, the
hydropower plants can't produce electricity
2)Hydropower can impact water quality and flow. Hydropower plants can cause low
dissolved oxygen levels in the water, a problem that is harmful to riparian
(riverbank) habitats and is addressed using various aeration techniques, which
oxygenate the water. Maintaining minimum flows of water downstream of a
hydropower installation is also critical for the survival of riparian habitats.
