Hydro+Power

HYDRO ﻿ POWER!

__ Hydro power __ is a great source of energy because it is used from water. Which 2/3 of our earth is made up of

water, so we have many places to put hydro power in. Hydro power uses the current of water to make energy

for our homes,and buildings. == ﻿ ==

Although hydro power is a great resource, there are also some down sides to it. some are it causes fish to get

trapped in one area and causes fish to die down in population. Another con is that this energy takes up alot of

space and is very large. A small hydro power plant can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000 dollars.



Not only is hydropower good for the environment it is also good for jobs for our struggling economy.



Hydro power focuses on one main perpose of electrical power for the world. Hydroelectric power gives us

clean water for us to bathe, shower, and drink. Hydro power is a renewable recource, so it can be used at

any time or place. Hydro power produces the most amount of electric in the U.S. It accounted for 7% total

U.S. electric generation and 35% of generation from renewables in 2009. WOW that's a lot! Hydro power

relies on the water cycle to help it.It is very inportant. Take a look!



This my friend is the source of hydro power. Without it no hydro power could be formed. It's really simple,

solar energy helps form water. Water gets in the clouds, it rains. Then it evaporates back into the clouds

creating water vapor. There's how warer power is formed. Did you know water power is the oldest source

of energy, well it's true. The first U.S. hydroelectric plant opened on the Fox River, near Appleton, Wisconsin,

on September 30, 1882. Pretty old huh.

You know hydro power dosn't just help human beings survive, but also helps the plants and animals on earth.

Without water there wouldn't be trees or lions and stuff you know. Hate to be a fish.

The water cycle is really good to our environment, because it is a natural way to clean our water.

The water cycle water we drink comes from the rain when it rains or when it snows.

.

Ways you can conserve your water:

1.Always turn off the faucet.

2.Only use the shower for 5 to 10 minutes.

3.Try not to use as much water for activities.

4.Try to keep our oceans clean by not littering so you can help....
