Question

Mention one advantage of setting up a mini or micro-hydroelectric power station.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

1. Large dams are known to store large amounts of water in them and can cause a lot of damage to the surrounding ecosystem due to floods and other natural calamities. Human settlements are displaced due to the construction of large dams.
2. To prevent the above issues, micro and mini hydroelectric power plants were established across rivers to generate electricity.

Hence, one advantage is that it prevents issues that arise from building large dams from repeating.
