How Hydroelectric Power Works
Hydroelectric energy is a renewable energy source dependent upon the hydrologic cycle of water, which involves evaporation, precipitation and the flow of water due to gravity. Canada has abundant water resources and a geography that provides many opportunities to produce low-cost energy. In fact, accessing the energy from flowing waters has played an important role in the economic and social development of Canada for the past three centuries.

That doesn’t always occur. Dams would be made to keep damage to the surrounding area due to flooding and whatnot minimal.
Nuclear power is good, very efficient and clean. It produces bad waste however, and will run out eventually, although not in the near future. If something goes wrong, which is highly improbable, then the result is catastrophic.
Everything has pros and cons.

MUY INTERESANTE GRACIAS
So simple it backs …
So simple it backs unwittingly into genius. I think water power has a much brighter future than wind or solar.
Hydroelectricity …
Hydroelectricity fascinates me and i am very passionate about CO2 levels and would love u to post more on u tube
It doesn’t “only” …
It doesn’t “only” make CO2. When areas that are full of flora become flooded, the sudden anaerobic decaying of plants creates tremendous amounts of methane, which is actually more damaging to the environment than CO2. The World Commision on Dams has even said the damage to the environment is even more harmful than a coal plant.
But as with nuclear power, I still feel its a worthy investment. Instead of building more of either, we should be making the dams and reactors we have more efficient.
that or you can use …
that or you can use keepvid. Just google it.
the buildin proces …
the buildin proces can make some co2
but after that no emisions ever
bether than coal
the enviromenal problem is only estetic
and not to the climate
man neds power and this is way bether then coalpower

how do i can download this video..
pls reply a.s.a.p..
Thanks For the …
Thanks For the Information!!!!
It really helped me in my Integrated Science Subject!
Thank you very much!!!!
i just passed my …
i just passed my physics test
veja!

Well if you see the hydroelectric power they are trying to build on river omo is considered by international river that hydroelectric power system are bad for the eco and environment.
How is the project …
How is the project bad for the climate and Eco system? There are typically devices to keep fish from being drawn into the intake, and nothing is added to the water to change it.
This one is on a …
This one is on a river. The water for this hydroelectric plant comes from a river, which is fed by many other rivers, streams, and lakes. Rainfall across a very large area (a “watershed”) is usually enough to keep up with the water going through the generators.

REPLY ASAP. PLEASE
THANKS. =)
I need it for my physics project.

Are you nuts? Hydro power plants such as this one are not bad for the climate at all… its totally safe.
pretty interesting! …
pretty interesting! i have a similar video on my page that you might enjoy.

nw i understand.
thx so much!
This guy was saying …
This guy was saying the water will continue to the river once it finished its purpose but the hydroelectric project is bad for climate and ecko system.
I didnt think that …
I didnt think that process would be fast enough to allow a continuous flow. The lake at the bottom must be huge.
Thanks.
The hydrologic …
The hydrologic cycle. The water evaporates, then forms a cloud. It then rains in the area, which supplies the upper part of the dam with water.
Hope that answers your question
