I wonder hydroelectric dams have elevators and ladders for fish hydropower is much better for the environment than fossil fuels hydropower uses water and gravity to make energy rather than non-renewable fuel. Hydropower also does not release carbon dioxide and other chemicals enthusi atmosphere. Using hydropower can reduce the effects of climate change.
But hydroelectric dams can have an impact on the environment because they are in the waterways. Some fish migrate like birds do during their breeding season and they need to travel past these dams to do that. So to help out the fish dams have letters and elevators to help the fish get past all the Machinery safely.
