Hydroelectric energy is a renewable energy source dependent upon the hydrologic cycle of water, which involves evaporation, precipitation and the flow of water due to gravity. Canada has abundant water resources and a geography that provides many opportunities to produce low-cost energy. In fact, accessing the energy from flowing waters has played an important role in the economic and social development of Canada for the past three centuries. … Environment hydro electric power generate …

    MUY INTERESANTE GRACIAS

  • richiebabe24 says:

    So simple it backs unwittingly into genius. I think water power has a much brighter future than wind or solar.

  • dansteele1997 says:

    Hydroelectricity fascinates me and i am very passionate about CO2 levels and would love u to post more on u tube

  • DarthCormac says:

    It doesn’t “only” make CO2. When areas that are full of flora become flooded, the sudden anaerobic decaying of plants creates tremendous amounts of methane, which is actually more damaging to the environment than CO2. The World Commision on Dams has even said the damage to the environment is even more harmful than a coal plant.

    But as with nuclear power, I still feel its a worthy investment. Instead of building more of either, we should be making the dams and reactors we have more efficient.

    that or you can use keepvid. Just google it. :-)

  • georg841984 says:

    the buildin proces can make some co2
    but after that no emisions ever
    bether than coal
    the enviromenal problem is only estetic
    and not to the climate
    man neds power and this is way bether then coalpower

    For downloading use DVDsoft Youtube downloader, it is a free software and has lot of options for downloading formats. enjoy!

  • HaSlaN91 says:

    how do i can download this video..
    pls reply a.s.a.p..

  • mystickforce says:

    Thanks For the Information!!!!

    It really helped me in my Integrated Science Subject!

    Thank you very much!!!!

  • speakersinmytrunk says:

    i just passed my physics test :)

  • inventorisac says:

    veja!

  • man13preet says:

    !!! KEEP IT UP !!!

  • addis11100 says:

    Well if you see the hydroelectric power they are trying to build on river omo is considered by international river that hydroelectric power system are bad for the eco and environment.

  • silentbob696969 says:

    How is the project bad for the climate and Eco system? There are typically devices to keep fish from being drawn into the intake, and nothing is added to the water to change it.

  • silentbob696969 says:

    This one is on a river. The water for this hydroelectric plant comes from a river, which is fed by many other rivers, streams, and lakes. Rainfall across a very large area (a “watershed”) is usually enough to keep up with the water going through the generators.

  • modelenthusiast says:

    How do u upload this video?

    REPLY ASAP. PLEASE

    THANKS. =)

    I need it for my physics project.

  • NationalMan says:

    Are you nuts? Hydro power plants such as this one are not bad for the climate at all… its totally safe.

  • xxPowerOnxx says:

    pretty interesting! i have a similar video on my page that you might enjoy.

  • nazifa94 says:

    my tchr showed me this vid.
    nw i understand.
    thx so much!

  • addis11100 says:

    This guy was saying the water will continue to the river once it finished its purpose but the hydroelectric project is bad for climate and ecko system.

  • intheshitter says:

    I didnt think that process would be fast enough to allow a continuous flow. The lake at the bottom must be huge.

    Thanks.

  • blastburnnn says:

    The hydrologic cycle. The water evaporates, then forms a cloud. It then rains in the area, which supplies the upper part of the dam with water.

    Hope that answers your question :)

  • step98765432 says:

    This Video is awesome it hepded me som much

  • intheshitter says:

    How does the water at the bottom go back up?

  • mrhippo79 says:

    There isn’t really much more to it. Civil works create a flow of water at pressure. This is converted to mechanical power by a turbine of appropriate type. The mechanical power is then converted to electrical power by an alternator. This then goes into the transmission network.
    Nowadays the biggest challenge to new hydropower is environmental constraints.
