Abstract
Fossil fuel alternatives have advanced during the last several years. As a result, several countries have started implementing biomass energy, solar energy, and wind energy, including hydroelectric energy. However, the economic expansion coupled with environmental protection has both placed ongoing pressure on these presently. As a result of its multiple social and economic, coupled with environmental advantages, hydropower has emerged as a leading choice for widespread use in several nations. This study, however, presents brief evaluation of the growth of different hydropower facilities as well as contrast their use to that of traditional fossil fuels. The biggest obstacle to this concept implementation is that large hydropower plants need extensive destruction of vegetation. Important ecosystems would be destroyed, a significant population would migrate downstream, and other catastrophic effects, including flash floods as well as landslides, would occur. Nevertheless, by using a tiny or micro-hydropower plant, this particular drawback might be overcome. As it has been shown in several nations, this specific concept was determined to have no impact on the environment and can provide inexpensive electricity to rural regions.
