From the Paper:

"Harnessing power from water sources is one of the most efficient and effective ways of producing energy. Unlike sourcing energy from fossil fuel wherein there is a requirement for the source of oil, drilling for it, and converting the product into various fuels such as diesel, gasoline, etc. Using fossil fuel or oil also harms the environment because of its dangerous by-products. It is a known fact nowadays that one of the causes of the Greenhouse Effect is the result of over burning of fossil fuels. The resulting pollutants mix with the atmosphere and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. Fossil fuels' by-products also enter various water sources causing not only water pollution but destroying fish and other aquatic resources. Hydroelectricity is one of the cleanest types of power source. Through its use, burning of billions of gallons of oil and millions of tons of coal per year can be prevented. Hydroelectric power production does not harm our air and water supply and has no dangerous wastes or by-products. Still, there are advantages and disadvantages of harnessing hydro power."
