\"Hydroelectric<\/a><\/p>\n

Hydroelectric power accounts for nearly 16% of the world’s electric production. Electricity is produced by water falling through a turbine, either from a natural or artificial waterfall. Hydroelectric generation works equally well on a large scale to provide power to cities or regions or on a small scale to provide power to a single household or project.<\/p>\n

It’s renewable, which keeps costs low, and produces very little greenhouse gas emissions. Hydropower can also respond quickly to lowered demand without difficulty.<\/p>\n

The drawbacks to hydropower include habitat loss and displacement of populations<\/a>. Dams can disrupt fisheries and reduce flow to the mouths of rivers.<\/p>\n

Enjoy these twenty hydroelectric power facts.<\/p>\n
