Hydropower Plants Work? Hydropower is the combination of head and flow. The Head is water pressure created by the difference in elevation between the water intake and turbine, expressed as a distance (feet or meters) or as pressure (pounds per square inch). Similarly, flow is the quantity of water, expressed as volume per second or minute (gallons per minute, cubic feet per second). In a typical hydropower system, water is diverted from a stream into a pipeline, where it is carried downhill and…

gases releasing into the atmosphere or ice caps melting, however climate change dramatically impacts the infrastructure. Rising sea levels, heavy downpours, and extreme heat, all caused by climate change, deteriorate highways, bridges, buildings, water plants, power plants, and most importantly dams. These dilapidations are predicted to increase as climate change continues to worsen; fixing the damage will cost an enormous amount of money. Severe hurricanes and tropical storms will result in…
