| The future belongs to hydropower. It conserves our fossil fuel reserves, is in abundant, self-renewing supply, is non-polluting and produces no waste streams. The world’s hydropower potential from rivers and reservoirs amounts to no less than 15 billion MWh per year – and only about 20 per cent of this has been developed so far.
Hydropower is not only environmentally friendly, but also cost-effective. Hydropower plants have the highest operating efficiency of all known generation systems. They are largely automated, and their operating costs are relatively low. Hydropower plants also play an important role in water resource planning, in preventing flooding, making rivers navigable, solving irrigation problems and creating recreation areas.
