    Hydropower is one of the earliest forms of energy that produces electricity by spinning a turbine with moving water. It has been used since ancient Greece to grind grain. Hydropower is also a sustainable energy source that does not emit pollutants or hazardous byproducts. When water rushes through a penstock and pushes against turbine blades, it turns a generator to create electricity. Hydropower facilities provide backup power during outages and offer flood control, irrigation, and clean drinking water in addition to energy production.

    Why is hydropower good DISADVANTAGES:
    for climate change? ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
    Hydropower generates clean electricity with RELOCATION DUE TO RISK OF
    significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions FLOODS
    than most other energy sources. By reducing
