How Does it Work? • The amount of energy available energy is determined by the flow or fall of moving water. • The water then flows through a pipe, then pushes against the blades in a turbine to spin a generator to produce electricity.
How could it be used? • Water power can be powered without a dam. • One way is a water wheel • Turbines can also be used
Environmental Impact • Control flooding. • Also control water for drinking, agriculture, industry and recreation. • Hydroelectric dams tend to last much longer than fossil fuel-powered plants.
Financial • It costs a lot of money!!!
