Question

Hydrological power harnesses energy through the movement of water in rivers. Which statement represents an added benefit to this renewable energy resource? A) costly to build B) creates water reserves C) tracks movement of water D) releases greenhouse gases

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter B, it creates water reserves. When hydrological power is harnessed it is placed in dams, when these dams are filled, the water then flows into a mechanical turbine that is specific in converting water into mechanical energy. Water in these dams can later on be used for other purposes or for storing energy long-term.
