Energy is an essential input for economic development and quality of life improvement. Hydroelectric is hydroelectric power obtained from water. Hydropower is very important in the methods of generation of electric power. One-third of the entire electric power of the world is received in the form of hydroelectricity. The energy contained in the water falling in the waterfall has been used since ancient times to run the watermill, but the use of this energy for electric power has been given from the twentieth century itself. In the coming few years only our traditional energy sources will be exhausted. We have finished it in a few minutes, which nature has spent millions of years in making. Environmental pollution, social and economic pressures, and political upsets make the problem more serious. Therefore, the development and use of renewable energy sources and having strong will power for this is the need of the day. Take this awesome quiz about Hydropower Energy.
