Water Based Resources

 Hydro Power Plant 
What is Hydro Power Plant?
Well, the hydro Power Plant or station is the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy then to electrical energy, due to the falling of water, across the dam. Usually, long turbines are used to generate the electricity. This process is basically considered as a renewable source of energy because the water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun. The turbine is connected to a large electromagnetic generator which generates the electrical energy when the turbines spin. Hydro power is the largest contributor than all the other generation programs currently working in India. It also accounts for 6.7% of the electricity produced all around the world.
Why Hydro Power Plant?
Hydro Power Plants are abundant, low cost for source of power despite high building costs. It is reliable sources of energy as it can be stored over a long period of time and then used.
Why not?
As discussed before, it is time and money consuming matter. Also, it occupies a lot of space for the reservoir, for which the people living and performing their livelihood have to be displaced and find a place to survive. The vegetation cover surrounding the place have to be cut either or get submerged under anaerobic conditions which would ensure the release of methane gas, also a greenhouse gas, as you know this may lead to global warming. And at times ecosystems have to be destroyed when submerged.
What about in India?
In India, the major dams releasing hydro electricity are Vaigai Dam, Mettur Dam, Amaravathi Dam and the Papanasam Dam.
So, this is what I've got for you in this page and I will simultaneously be discussing about tourism too, subscribe, follow, post your comments and enjoy your day.

More on Hydro Power Plant Welcome back, in my last post, I have introduced about the hydro power plant, now let us see in depth. To start with, let us know the types of hydro power plants currently working in India. Impoundment Facilities are the most common ones in India. Here the energy is generated by using a reservoir in a dam. Energy is generated when water passes through the turbines. Pumped Storage Facilities,  the name itself defines that it is utilized for energy storage. They have two reservoirs and the water is pumped from the lower to the upper reservoir and thereby energy is stored. The last and foremost methodology is the Run off Facility.  They rely mostly on the speed of flowing water. A part of the water is diverted to the turbines and this is how the energy is generated. This is the most economical energy generation in India as it doesn't use the dams and the reservoirs. Conditions necessary for building Well, there is no much conditions required for b

MY FIRST POST  Hello, my dear friends and relatives, This is my first post about the same resources. I hope you may understand some knowledge about resources and conserving resources and few of my simple ideas of conserving resources. Now let us move onto the ideas. ALLUVIAL SOIL So, one of the most widely used soils in India is alluvium. It is spread over an area of 15  lakh sq.km, across India. It is rich in necessary nutrients like Zinc, Magnesium and phosphorus but is devoid of urea and plant residue. It is most commonly found in the Northern plain region along the River Ganges and covers almost 40% of the land surface in that region. One of the special qualities that add to it's use is that it is well suited for canal and tube well irrigation that helps in cultivating necessary crops like rice, potatoes, wheat which is the staple diet for most of the people in Northern part of India. On the other hand, the main threat to it's quality is deforestation and s
