Water Energy

This is the energy stored on the waters in the reservoirs of the dams. It is transformed into electric energy by the passage of water in a turbine that is linked to an electric generator.

Out of the electric energy production, the water energy has other impacts, because dams can originate the disappearance of populations. On the good side, it can contribute to the nearby terrain’s irrigation, which makes them more productive.
