Understanding Hydropower

The video explores the power of moving water and its use in generating electricity through hydropower. It explains the role of large dams, like the Hoover Dam, in creating reservoirs that drive turbines to produce electricity. While hydropower is efficient and nonpolluting, the construction of large dams can be costly and environmentally damaging, affecting water flows and trapping sediments.
