Hydropower, also known as hydroelectric power, is the use of water to produce power. Harnessing water to perform work has been going on for thousands of years. Hydropower has been the leading source of traditional, clean, renewable energy globally, and hydropower electricity generation is considered one of the cheapest technologies regarding electricity generation costs. This paper examines the overall technology of hydroelectric powered dams and all their functions, leading to potential energy produced. Also discussed are hydropower's environmental impact and future development and sustainability.
