The advantages of production and use of hydraulic energy are many and these described below are only some of them:
- hydraulic energy is produced easy and it has a high yield, over 90%;

- hydraulic energy is using water energy only but not the water and the water quality will not change

- restoring the amount of water is provided by the natural flow, due to solar energy, so it can be said that this is could be a way to capture solar energy;

- energy is produced on demand
- accumulation of water in the lake is equivalent to achieving energy reserves available on demand, in this way peak power being provided on demand.

From another angle, consider that the production of cheap and abundant hydroelectric power also attracts industries and businesses that rely on such cheap electricity to thrive.  So while you...

Hydroelectric energy is cheaper to produce.  It does not pollute the environment, and it is readily available.  It seems almost wasteful to use other sources, fossil fuels especially, when we...
