In the age of the Climate Crisis, hydro-electric power plants are a great source of clean energy and financial benefits. This is particularly true in developing areas which lack natural resources. As these facilities expand at an ever larger scale their externalities are becoming more and more visible.

Hydroelectric power, also known as hydropower, is a form of renewable energy that utilizes the gravitational force of flowing or falling water to generate electricity. It is one of the oldest and most widely used sources of renewable energy.

Hydroelectric power is a clean and renewable energy source because water is continually replenished by natural processes, such as rainfall and snowmelt. It is a reliable source of electricity, providing a constant and predictable power supply.

Additionally, hydroelectric power plants produce no direct greenhouse gas emissions during operation, making them an environmentally friendly option for meeting electricity demand. However, the construction of large dams and reservoirs can have significant environmental and social impacts, and smaller-scale run-of-river or micro-hydropower systems are alternative options that minimize these impacts.
