A hydropower resource can be evaluated by its available power. Power is a function of the hydraulic head and volumetric flow rate. The head is the energy per unit weight (or unit mass) of water. [5] The static head is proportional to the difference in height through which the water falls. Dynamic head is related to the velocity of moving water.
[1] [2] The Sông Đà Reservoir, with a capacity of 9 billion m 3 was formed as the river was dammed. [3] The dam is located in Hòa Bình City of the Hòa Bình Province in the north of Vietnam. It measures 128 m (420 ft) in height, and 970 m (3,182 ft) in length. It is owned by Vietnam Electricity and operated by the Hoa Binh Hydro Power ...

The 1000 MW hydro project was temporarily out of service. 1971 [5] Banqiao Dam: Henan China: 1975 Banqian Dam failure: 26,000 dead from flooding, 145,000 dead from subsequent famine and epidemics, 11 million homeless. Caused loss of generation, dam failed by overtopping in a 1-in-2,000 year flood [6] 1975: Teton Dam: Idaho United States
Hydro power is generated when the natural force from the water's current moves a device (fan, propeller, wheel) that is pushed by the force of the water. Ordinary water weighs 8.36 lbs per gallon (1 kg per liter). [citation needed] The force makes the turbine mechanism spin, creating electricity. As long as there is flow, it is possible to ...
