ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻumekaumaha o ka wai kahe e hoʻoulu ai i ka uila ua kapa ʻia ʻo hydropower.
Hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻumekaumaha o ka wai e wili i nā turbines, ka mea e hoʻohuli ai i nā magnets i nā mea hana hoʻololi e hoʻohua ai i ka uila, a ua helu pū ʻia ka ikehu wai ma ke ʻano he kumu ikehu hou. ʻO ia kekahi o nā ʻenehana hana mana kahiko loa, ʻoi loa a maʻalahi.
Hoʻokaʻawale nui ʻia ka hydropower i ʻehā mau ʻāpana: maʻamau (dams), pumped storage, kahawai a me waho (tidal). ʻO ka hydropower kekahi o nā kumu uila kiʻekiʻe ʻekolu ma ka honua, ʻo nā mea ʻelua ʻē aʻe ke puhi ʻana i nā wahie mōʻalihaku a me ka nuklea. I kēia mau lā, ʻo ia ka hapaono o ka huina uila o ka honua.
Nā pōmaikaʻi o ka hydropower
Palekana a Maʻemaʻe - ʻAʻole like me nā kumu ikehu ʻē aʻe e like me nā wahie mōʻalihaku, maʻemaʻe a ʻōmaʻomaʻo e like me ka nuklea, biomass. ʻAʻole hoʻohana a hoʻokuʻu paha kēia mau mea mana i ka wahie a no laila ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu i nā kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo.
Hiki ke hoʻololi hou – Manaʻo ʻia he kumu ikehu hou no ka mea hoʻohana ʻo ia i ka wai o ka honua e hana i ka uila. Hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia ka wai i ka honua ma kona ʻano kūlohelohe me ka ʻole o ka haumia. ʻAʻole ia e pau ma muli o ka pōʻaiapuni wai maoli.
Kūʻai-Effective - ʻOiai ke kumu kūʻai nui o ke kūkulu ʻana, ʻo ka hydropower kahi kumu ikehu hoʻokūkū kumu kūʻai no ka mea haʻahaʻa loa nā kumukūʻai mālama a me nā hana.
Punawai hikiwawe - He kumu maʻalahi kēia o ka uila no ka mea hiki i kēia mau mea mana ke piʻi wikiwiki a hoʻohaʻahaʻa ma muli o ke koi ikaika. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka manawa hoʻomaka o ka turbine hydro ma mua o ka manawa o ka turbine mahu.
Nā hoʻohana ʻē aʻe - Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kēia wai no ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka iʻa iʻa ma muli o nā loko wai nui i hana ʻia e nā papahana hydropower. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka loko i hoʻokumu ʻia ma hope o ka wai no nā hana e like me nā haʻuki wai a me nā hana leʻaleʻa, e lilo ia i wahi mākaʻikaʻi e hiki ai ke loaʻa kālā.
Nā pōʻino o ka hydropower
ʻO ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe loa - He kumukūʻai nui kēia mau mea kanu mana a me nā dam i kekahi manawa. He kiʻekiʻe loa nā kumukūʻai kūkulu.
Ka pilikia o ka hāʻule ʻole - Paʻa nā Dams i ka nui o ka wai ma muli o ke kahe ʻana, nā pōʻino kūlohelohe, nā pōʻino kanaka, ka maikaʻi o ke kūkulu ʻana, a hiki ke loaʻa nā hopena pōʻino no nā wahi o lalo a me nā ʻoihana. Hiki i ia mau hemahema ke hoʻopilikia i ka lako mana a me nā mea ulu a me nā holoholona, a hiki nō hoʻi ke kumu i nā poho nui a me nā pōʻino.
Poino kaiaola – Hoʻoulu nui ʻia nā loko wai nui i uka o nā pā, i kekahi manawa e luku ana i nā ʻāina haʻahaʻa, nā ululāʻau awāwa a me nā mauʻu. I ka manawa like, e hoʻopilikia pū ia i ka kaiaola wai a puni ka mea kanu. He hopena nui i ka iʻa, nā manu wai a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe.
