Hydropower creates fewer pollution and climate problems than fossil fuel power, as they create reservoirs ofclean water, which to some are both pleasing to the eye and a place for tranquil recreation. They promise control offlooding, provide a steady supply of water for irrigation and, with time, a source of fresh fish. Hydroelectric power is asource of green energy because it makes use of water - a free abundant and inherently benign medium. It takesadvantage of gravity, transforming energy from flowing water into electricity in a process that is at once clean andcarbon free. Hydroelectric projects are the energy source with lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared toThermal Coal, Thermal Natural gas, solar, wind & nuclear. Hydropower is also worldwide recognized as the renewableenergy source
