Advantages and disadvantages of Hydroenergy

Flood Control and Water Management: Dams used in hydropower projects can help regulate river flow, prevent floods, and facilitate water management for irrigation and other purposes.

Disadvantages of Hydroenergy:
Environmental Impact: The construction of dams and reservoirs can have significant environmental impacts, including changes to ecosystems, displacement of communities, and alteration of river habitats.

High Initial Costs: Building hydropower infrastructure, especially large dams, can involve substantial upfront costs. However, operating and maintenance costs are generally lower over the long term.
