Environmental Impacts of Hydropower and Alternative Mitigation Measures by Mohammed Mussa in CIACR - Lupine Publishers
There is no doubt about that the agricultural industry is the
most essential one for humanity [1]. It also employs a great number
of people, providing economic means to them. But it is not easy to
answer whether the agricultural industry is an effective one. On the
quite contrary, the industry is perhaps the least effectively managed
one for the last several thousand years. As people in the world are
enjoying longevity, the world consumes more and more food. Can
the world’s agricultural industry feed all the people on earth? It is
a vital question. If the earth capacity is limited and the crops are
not produced enough, the only possible solution is to increase the
productivity of the agricultural industry. In order to find ways to
increase such productivity, we first have to understand why the productivity of the agricultural industry is so low. Then we can
suggest how the agricultural industry changes itself to be more
productive and effective. In this paper, we endeavor to answer the
question from a value chain perspective. Hydropower is one of the most efficient power generation
technologies, which are carbon free and use inexhaustible resources
to produce the energy. The prime driver is the force of gravity and
the water used to drive this power is non-destructive [1]. According
to Yüksel [2] hydropower do not pollute the air we breathe in the
way that the energy source does not produce any air pollutants.
Unlike thermal power plants for example, there are no gaseous
of fly ash emissions emitted during the production. The fact that
hydropower often replace fossil-fired generation, it can therefore
also be said that it is reducing the problem with acid rain and smog
[1,2]. Despite all these advantages hydropower plants have, there
may also be negative impacts - Lupine Publishers.
