2. Hydropower or water power is power derived from the energy of
falling or fast-running water, which may be harnessed for useful
purposes.
5. • The production is about 4,000,000 bbl/day
• 90 % of electricity by fossil fuels (≈ 8000 MW)
• several power plants using steam turbines and gas
turbines
• Two big rivers, Tigris and Euphrates
• 10 % of electricity by water resources (≈ 1000
MW)
• 5 big dams using Francis turbines and Kaplan
turbines
• 4 small projects under construction
6. A Dam is a massive structure that hold the
water flow of the river through spillways. The
dams are primarily used to save water and
generate hydro power.
Barrage is a type of small dam with large
gates, build to divert the river water for
irrigation systems.
