Question 22.
Give your opinion about whether hydroelectric plants are environment friendly or not?
Answer:
In hydroelectric plants, no air pollution occurs due to the combustion of fuel thus making the hydroelectric power plants environment friendly. However, it has an adverse effect on living creatures in the river and causes water pollution due to issues like forced migration of large community, submerging of forest and fertile land, etc., thus proving it to be non-eco-friendly.
It has always been a point of debate whether the hydroelectricity is environment friendly or not.
