Hydroelectric energy means the generation of electricity by means of running or falling water. It is one of the greatest resources of energy in the world. This energy source is so popular due to its advantages-
• No fuel required
• Constant electricity
• No air-pollution
• Can last indefinitely
• Low cost of generating electricity
The Three Gorges Dam in China on the Yangtze River is the largest hydroelectric power station in the world. Its capacity is 18,300 MegaWatts.

The advantages of hydroelectric energy include: it is clean, and emits no pollutants (except in construction); it is controllable and the fuel source is abundant.

Another important advantage is that it can be turned on and off very rapidly to compensate for variability in demand from the grid.

Hydroelectric power is perhaps the most widely used of the alternative energy sources given that the flow of energy can be regulated, and the large quantities of energy which can be generated from a single dam.
