Heating/Cooling
Hydroelectric Dams
Hydroelectric Dams/Reservoirs Around The World
(Look for the dots in blue)
1. Water flowing through the dams spin turbine blades (made out of metal).
2. Turbine is connected to generators.
3. Power is produced and is sent to homes and businesses.
How does it work?
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
Fuel is not burned so there is minimal pollution
High investment costs
Water to run the power plant is provided free by nature
Hydrology dependent (precipitation)
Relatively low operations and maintenance costs
Changes in river flow and water temperature
The technology is reliable and proven over time
In some cases, changes in reservoir and stream water
qualityIt's renewable - rainfall renews the water in the reservoir, so the fuel is almost always
there
In some cases, inundation of land and wildlife habitat
