Question
____________is a disadvantage of hydropower.
- Deforestation
- Harmful emission
- It is not suitable for long-distance electricity connections
- Unstable source of energy
Hint:
For hydropower , we need water. We get water by rainfall.
The correct answer is: Deforestation
The correct option is a) Deforestation.
Trees also release water vapor into the atmosphere, which turns into rain and feeds hydroelectric power plants. The new research suggests that more widespread deforestation could reduce precipitation and reduce energy production. This should be taken into account when planning hydropower development. Deforestation can lead to power shortages in rainforest regions that rely heavily on hydroelectric power. Fewer trees means less rainfall for hydroelectric power generation. Deforestation reduces precipitation and reduces the amount of water available for hydroelectric power generation.
