Impact of Hydroelectric Power Generator to the

Environment and Society

Advantages

Hydroelectric power generator is a fuel by water,

so it’s a clean fuel source. Hydroelectric power
generator doesen’t pollute the airlike power
plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or
natural gas.
Hydroelectric power generator is a domestic
source of energy.
Hydroelectric power generator relies on the water
cycle, which is driven by the sun, thus it’s a
renewable power source.
Hydropower is generally available as needed;
engineers can control the flow of water hrough
the turbines to produce electricity on demand.
Disadvantages
Hydroelectric power plant can impact water
quality and flow. Can cause low dissolved oxygen
levels in the water, a problem that is harmful to
riparian habitats and is addressed using various
aeration techniques, which oxygenated the water.
Maintaining minimum flows of water downstream
of a hydroelectric power generator installation is
also critical for the survival of riparian habitats.
Hydroelectric power generator can be impacted
by drought. When water is not available, the
hydroelectric can’t produce electricity.

Hydroelectric power generator provides benefits

in addition to clean electricity. Impoundment
hydroelectric power generator creates reservoirs
that offer a variety of recreational opportunities,
notably fishing, swimming, and boating.

Conceptual Framework
This study is conceptualized that the hydroelectric power generator plays an
essential role in the irrigation of dry agricultural lands. In other words, hydroelectric
power make use of water sources to generate electricity. This in turn helps reduce air
pollution because it doesn’t rely on raw materials like oil, coal or natural gas. Since it
utilizes water sources, your community can save lots of money.
 As mentioned, hydroelectric power generator is widely-used all over the world. In
this study, hydroelectric power generator become a renewable energy source, promotes
guaranteed energy and price stability, contributes to the storage of drinking water,
increases the stability and reliability of electricity systems, a fundamental instrument for
sustainable development, offers a significant contribution to development and improves
the air we breathe.
