2.  Hydropower is power derived from the energy of falling
or fast-running water , which may be harnessed for
useful purposes .
 Hydropower or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion
of energy from flowing water into electricity .
 It is considered a renewable energy source because
The water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun .

4. Renewable energy source
Promote Sustainable development
Clean and Safe energy

6.  India is 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in
the world.
 Comes under the Ministry of Power, Government of
India.
 As on 31st March, 2019 there were 710 HE generating
units installed in 204 Hydro-Electric Station.
 An aggregate installed capacity of 45399.22 MW in
operation .
 The generation from the hydro electric power stations
in the country during 2018-19 was 134893.61 MU
(excluding import from Bhutan) .

7.  A small Hydro-Electric (130KW) established near Darjeeling in
1897 ushered the beginning of hydro-electric power development in
the country .
 The hydel installed capacity which was only 508 MW in 1947 with
12 H.E. stations , 51 units and maximum unit size of 22 MW at Bhira
H.E. station under Tata , has risen to 45399.22 MW
(as on 31.03.2019) from H.E. stations above 25 MW capacity .
 Contribution of electricity generation from Hydro Electric Power
Station has risen from 2.2 BU during 1947 to about 134.9 BU in
2018-19 .
 Ministry of Power , Government of India
 Formed :- 2 July 1992
