    Hydroelectric energy production harnesses the kinetic energy of moving water like waterfalls to generate electricity, with the potential energy of water converted as it flows downhill. It provides immediate power to the grid as well as essential backup during outages, while also offering flood control, irrigation, and clean water benefits, but destroys forests, wildlife habitats, agricultural land, and scenic areas.

    HYDROELECTRIC

    ENERGY PRODUCTION

      is a form of energy that harnesses the power of water in motion—such as water
    flowing over a waterfall—to generate electricity
     potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as water flows downhill

    USAGE

     can generate power to the grid immediately, they provide essential backup power
    during major electricity outages or disruptions. Hydropower provides benefits
    beyond electricity generation by providing flood control, irrigation support, and
    clean drinking water.
    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

     it destroys forest, wildlife habitat, agricultural land, and scenic lands.
