Hydropower extracts mechanical energy from water, transforming it into electrical energy to generate electricity. Water in the environment often has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, which can generate electricity using a generator.
Roughly 1/6th of the electricity in the world comes from hydropower facilities, while values in the earlier twentieth century were much higher. In some countries around the world, hydroelectricity is the dominant form of electrical power generation.
Water is one of the globe’s cleanest renewable energy sources, nevertheless the development of a hydroelectric plant has significant risks. Environmental impact of the plant is the primary concern.
