The use of hydropower, which is a type of alternative energy sources, is important in the production of electricity around the world. Small hydropower is the cleanest type of electricity generation, does not pollute the atmosphere with harmful wastes, and does not require the construction of large reservoirs. They require a small amount of construction materials, there is no risk of flooding nearby areas in case of an emergency, and the cost of large hydropower plants is lower.
