Hydroelectricity in the environmental context refers to electricity generated by harnessing the energy of flowing or falling water. This renewable energy source relies on the gravitational force of water in rivers, streams, or Man-made reservoirs to produce electricity with minimal direct greenhouse gas emissions, making it a cleaner alternative to Fossil fuels. Hydroelectricity plays a significant role in energy production worldwide, particularly in countries with abundant water resources and suitable geography for dams and water flow.
