Hydropower involves:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

'Hydro' means 'water'.

As a child in Scotland, I remember visiting a hydro-electric power station, where a dam had been built across a river, with the dammed water used to generate electric power.

As a slightly older child, I used to routinely watch a BBC2 test television broadcast which was all about the building of the Kariba dam for a similar purpose, with huge environmental and social con-sequences. Many other such dams have been build since, including, for example, the Aswan dam. Often such projects attract criticism because of the effects on the environment as well as on people.

I'm going with D) Water on this one. Hydropower is literally power from water. Although, I did hear about a new 'hydrowind' technology that combines hydropower with wind turbines. Who knows, maybe that's the future of renewable energy!

D) Water, obviously. Hydropower is all about harnessing the power of moving water to produce electricity. Unless they're talking about some kind of 'hydro-solar' or 'hydro-coal' technology, which would be pretty wild.

Hmm, let me think... Hydropower, that's gotta be something to do with water. I'm going with D) Water. Although, a coal-powered hydroplant would be an interesting concept.

I'm pretty sure it's D) Water. Hydropower uses the power of flowing water to generate electricity, right? Not exactly rocket science.

Hydropower? That's a no-brainer. It's gotta be D) Water. I mean, what else would it be, wind? Sun? Coal? Come on, people!
