Hydroelectricity generates electricity by harnessing the gravitational force of falling water.
2.)Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy but the building of the large facilities needed to make it can have negative effects on the environment.
3.)Most hydroelectric power stations use water held in dams to drive turbines and generators which turn mechanical energy into electrical energy.
4.)Three Gorges
Yangtze River, China
With a massive generating capacity of 22.5 GW, the Three Gorges Dam is the biggest hydro dam in the world. China had begun dreaming up this engineering showcase in 1919, and in 2008, it came alive.
5.)Tucuruí
Tocantins River, Brazil
This dam was the first large-scale hydro power project in the Amazon rain forest. It was commissioned in 1984 and has a generating capacity of 8,370 MW.]]> 2017-02-14 04:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153622622 jamie_faircloth5 https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153623372  Solar Energy Systems (SESs) in Edgecombe County : Edgecombe county uses Solar energy as an alternative energy source.]]> 2017-02-14 04:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153623372 jamie_faircloth5 https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153624224 Hydroelectric Power]]> 2017-02-14 04:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153624224 jamie_faircloth5 https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153624272 Hydroelectric Power (Kerr Dam]]> 2017-02-14 05:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153624272 jamie_faircloth5 https://padlet.com/jamie_faircloth5/z34k1dfgdo9e/wish/153624469 Hydroelectric Power
