While small, the country has the potential to generate a massive amount of hydro power, since it is home to mountainous terrain brimming with fast-flowing rivers. The area could generate up to 30,000 MW of power, though it is estimated that, given the limits of technology, 24,000 MW […]

But if the electricity is produced using green sources it's even better. One of the most used types of energy up to now was hydropower, but this one involves the construction of dams, weirs or other structures that could affect fish.

Water gathered in a bungalow on a river shore will fall in a 600m deep gallery where turbines are mounted. The water pressure will rotate the huge turbines which will create electrical power.
