INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
1) One of the most widely used renewable source of energy for generating One of the most widely used renewable source of energy for generating electricity on large scale basis is hydropowerelectricity on large scale basis is hydropower
2) The power obtained from river or ocean water is called as hydropowerThe power obtained from river or ocean water is called as hydropower
3) Hydropower is the renewable source of energy since water is available in Hydropower is the renewable source of energy since water is available in large quantities from rain, rivers, and oceans and this is will be available for large quantities from rain, rivers, and oceans and this is will be available for unlimited time to comeunlimited time to come
