         <link>https://hydroelectricengery.webnode.page/news/renewable-or-non-renewable-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[&#160;Hydroelectricity is a renewable source of energy, being made by gathering the energy in moving water. The energy comes from using the power of the falling water to turn giant turbines. These spinning turbines are connected to generators, and the spinning creates electricity that is put on the power grid system. As long as the water keeps on flowing through it will keep on generating energy.

         <link>https://hydroelectricengery.webnode.page/news/how-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[&#160;Hydroelectricity is derived from the potential energy that water has when it is at a height above sea level. One side of the dam holds backwater at a high level and the other side has water flowing at a low level. As the water falls to the lower level, some of the energy can be transformed into energy by being directed through turbines. A generator produces electricity. The generators in a hydropower station are powered by the turbines, which are powered by the falling water. As the...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;No one knows exactly when hydropower was created, but we do know it has been used for more than 2000 years starting with the Greeks and the use of water wheels. Every things starts of simple and hydropower was no excuse. eVen though it was being used for more than 2000 years we used hydropower for electricity for only 2 century’s.

         <link>https://hydroelectricengery.webnode.page/news/how-do-we-use-hydroelectricity/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[The first use of water to produce electricity was for a wheel built by the Ottawa Electric Light Company at Chaudieres Falls in 1881. It was used to power streetlights.
Approximately 475 hydroelectric generating plants across the country produce an average of 355 terawatt-hours per year — one terawatt-hour represents enough electricity to heat and power 40,000 houses.
&#160;
Canada generates most of its electricity with water for five main reasons:
1. Water is abundant.
2. The technology is...]]></description>

         <link>https://hydroelectricengery.webnode.page/news/how-does-the-world-use-it-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[&#160;Not everyone can use Hydro Electricity as one of their country's main power source; this is because some countries may not get enough water to produce an efficient energy while other countries may not be able to afford the cost of building a hydroelectric dam. However, any country that can use hydroelectricity will because it is the most "green" and efficient way to create energy to date.

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;Hydropower electricity is the most efficient source of energy; it is able to convert 95% of the available energy into electricity. Comparing that to other resource such fossil fuels which produces about 60% of the available energy to electricity. &#160;In addition, fossil fuels are not renewable, while water is renewed through the natural water cycle.

         <description><![CDATA[Hydropower stations have a very long service life, which can be extended further with repayments being done also. DeCew Falls 1 in Ontario was commissioned in 1898 and is still operating today; Pointe de Bois in Manitoba, commissioned in 1911, is still producing power; and Beauharnois in Quebec recently celebrated 75 years of operation. Another "plus" for repairing the station is that you can improve it's efficiency to meet peak power demand. So yes will be extremely beneficial to us in the...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[River flow Disruptions- Hydropower dams disrupts the natural flow of waters. This will alter the original flow of the river stream and disrupts to ecological region around that area.
&#160;
Obstacles for fish migration- Here is another of the disadvantages of hydropower, Building a dam on a river creates major problems for the fish found in the river system. Because fish cannot move past a dam. Fish passages may be added to a dam to help fish move up and downstream, but they are not always...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;Wherever the natural water cycle continually replenishes the water source, power can be continually generated. There is no need ever to discover, mine, produce, or transport any additional water to the higher elevation from which it can generate energy as it moves under the effect of gravity through the generator turbines to a lower elevation.]]></description>
