In other words, it refers to the systematic process of accumulating efficient energy from rapidly flowing water. The installation of dams helps in this energy generation and preservation.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, hydropower or hydroelectricity is a technological boon for our planet. India as a developing country invests in hydropower through the construction of dams and hydropower plants on rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Further, it uses this electricity to run tubewells, irrigate and cultivate crops, furnish power in homes and factories, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, India features as the seventh-largest generator of hydroelectricity across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>This article depicts the major hydropower Plants and primary dam constructions in India.
