Water Energy (Hydroelectric Power/Hydropower)
Hydroelectric power or hydropower is the electricity created when energy is captured from flowing water. By altering the natural flow of a river or other body of water, hydropower technologies convert the water’s motion into electricity. Since hydropower costs less than most other energy sources, it is most widely in all places.
Water power is able to produce electricity in a sustainable way. Hydropower is also becoming environmentally friendly as researchers work on new technologies to reduce adverse impacts on fish and their natural habitats.

Marshall Island – The Republic of the Marshall Islands is made up of 29 low-lying atolls and five elevated islands inhabited by 71,000 citizens. The nation is dependent on diesel for more than 90 per cent of its electricity. A 600kW PV Plant in Majuro was built on an existing water reservoir. The plant provides power to the existing grid and increases the rain water yield of the reservoir through increased run-off.
