Hydropower or water power ( basically Hydro Energy ) is power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes, also known as hydroelectric power.
"Hydro" means "water" in Greek - so "hydro energy" is made from water.
It might sound odd to you that we can use water to make electricity because they'res a dangerous combination, right? The water never makes any contact with electricity. The water that flows/oozes down a river is used to spin or turn the turbines in the interior part of the generator.

Hydro energy is good for the environment, because we are not wasting any water, and we are not damaging the environment. Hydro Power is fueled by water, so it’s a clean source of energy, meaning it won’t pollute the environment because it is a type of Renewable Energy.

The energy generated through hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun which makes it a renewable eco-friendly power source.

Some hydropower facilities can quickly go from zero power to the maximum output because some hydropower plants can generate natural power immediately. Isn’t that cool???

Hydro energy has some D

O

W
N  sides as well. Dams can trap fish and harm wildlife. We shouldn’t let this happen, or else animals could be stuck in captivity. This could be a huge problem for wildlife. Also, how are WILD animals supposed to survive in captivity??? There are lots of environmental consequences of obstructing water, flooding areas, creating massive reservoirs, changing water proceed, blocking the natural course of rivers, and constructing power lines and connections.

There are only a limited number of places where these power plants can be built otherwise they don’t work to make power as it usually does.

Hydro energy can impact on drought because it causes lack of water.

What if we told you that hydro energy isn't the only type of renewable energy?? There is also geothermal energy, bio energy and lots more. Only 10% of all types of energy in the world is renewable energy. So let's all hope that we can use renewable energy even more in our world - this could mean an end to climate change!!!!!

We hope you have learnt something new. Hydro energy has many benefits. Fossil fuels pollute the environment. We don't want that.
(Tell us if you learnt something in the comments below.)
SO STOP POLLUTING!!
WHO'S WITH US?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

P.S: You can stand up for our environment.  YES, YOU!
You could

Start a campaign

Drive your car less

Ride your bike more

And tell everyone how important it is to put an end to climate change.

We don't want pollution

Hydro Energy is a Renewable Energy, meaning it lasts forEVER!

The oldest Hydroelectric plant in the WHOLE UNIVERSE is...... wait for it - .........................  Cragside in England!

Worldwide Hydropower generates enough electricity to meet the needs of 28.3 million people! So cool !!!!!!!

Hydropower has been used to power watermills for thousands of years although cheap electricity has largely made them obsolete in modern times.

We can be SUPERHEROS
and save the earth by researching about the earth and it's goods, looking at ways to use the environment safely etc. NOTE: Even if you are a kid, YOU CAN STILL SAVE THE EARTH! You are probably wondering how to save the earth at this age? Well I'll tell you! This book down below is a book that is 101 WAYS TO SAVE THE EARTH BEFORE BEDTIME!!!!!
