Hydroelectricity About

Issues of Hydroelectricity

• Dam failure can be

highly dangerous

• Population relocation

• High Environmental

damage (Three

Gorges Dam)

Hydroelectricity Background

Issues of Hydroelectricity

• Mainly Industrial propose

• High investment costs

• Setup costs for an allowance in the US

between $150,000

and $1,000,000

• Basic study for

$50,000 required

Hydroelectricity Background

Setup Hydroelectricity

• Small scale hydroelectricity can be

implemented if a fall of 10' is available

and sufficient volume of running

water

• Example: Waterwheel attached to an

electromagnetic motor (reversible) to

output electricity
