ENVIROMENTAL IMPACTS

 

Hydropower can negatively affect walking stocks. Much land is under the reservoir when the dams are made and it can disrupt the habitat of animals and ecosystems of the place. Hydropower plants are mainly built to take advantage electricity to industrial than 80% of the electricity goes to heavy industry. Hydropower plants emit less of the greenhouse gas than, for example, oil, gas and coal power plants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hydropower also have visual impact. For example, the visual impact of the Kárahnjúkar: structures; especially dams, roads and canals, landfill areas and quarries, reservoirs that create new and changing landscape, dynamic animations such reservoirs, especially Hálslón, causing velocity of coastal and can cloud the vision for the country, less and clear water below the dam structures of the station, as stated the reduced flow waterfalls and lower flight of the canyons, darker water below the powerhouse due to increased levels of dissolved chemicals, changes in glacial rivers in built, either to increase or less water, silt Jökulsá in Dal heal up where the river gets targeted direction, negative impression of reduction in the wilderness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Icelanders take advantage of geothermal faster than they regenerate.

Waste water from geothermal plants is contaminated. Hydrogen received from geothermal plants with air and can affect people with respiratory diseases and can be carcinogenic. Also, it can accelerate to encourage corrosion roofs and  silver will be black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first actual hydroelectric power plant was built in 1879 with Niagara Falls in the United States,

she was the best at the beginning of the fifth decade, producing 33% of energy consumption in the country. After it was hydropower knocked out of cheaper power plants were powered by fossil fuels. This is one of the reasons that we are facing climate problems today.
