RE: Hydraulic Energy of Waterfalls and its Application in Electric Power Generation
Hydroelectric power generation is one of the oldest renewable energy resources, which also can be used for flood control, irrigation purposes, source of drinking water. It is a very clean energy and has no dangerous by- products and can be located anywhere where the landscape offers economic in terms of the civil engineering works associated with building of dams. It can start on its own without recourse to external power. It is excellent in load following and can double as peak and base load plant due to its quick starting capability and low running cost. You really did a swell job. Thanks for sharing.

I disagree. What about the thermal pollution from HEP?
Your knowledge about microbes and ecosystem is admiring, and your patience and reading comprehension is outstanding. I thank you so much for that clever observation.You are right about the thermal pollution which depletes oxygen levels in water and thus affects the aquatic life of plants and animals, but then does it have a widespread effect?
