Hydropower is an energy source that makes it possible to produce electricity without using fossil fuels. The environmental cost of hydropower is related to encroachments upon nature due to damming or lowering of the water level. Hydro power is known to be a clean, renewable source of energy because it emits a very low level of green house gases when compared to fossil. Hydroelectric plants can also have an impact on water quality by lowering the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.
