Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using hydropower for large-scale energy production.

The advantages of the hydropower are:

- It is renewable

- It is a clean source of energy

- Matches current demand

- It is stable and reliable

- Requires low operating cost

The disadvantages of the hydropower are:

- Causes environmental damage

- Cost of building is expensive

- May cause droughts

- May cause floods in lower areas

- Shortage of water supply

The hydroelectric power has its prons and cons. It is very expansive for building, and it causes environmental damage in the river systems, but it also causes hazards like droughts and floods at certain areas. On the other side, once established it is very cheap, and it gets the job done when it comes to electricity. It is also an energy that is not polluting, and it is sustainable, reliable, and renewable.
