Hydropower is a form of renewable energy obtained from the movement of water, such as rivers, lakes, or seas. The kinetic or potential energy of water is harnessed to generate electricity through hydroelectric power plants.
In this process, water moves turbines that activate electric generators. Hydropower is a clean and abundant source of energy that does not produce polluting emissions.
Furthermore, hydroelectric power plants enable the regulation of water flow, control floods, and provide water for irrigation and human consumption.
