“…On the other hand, dams have been used in different parts of the world for centuries to store river water and subsequently use it for various purposes, such as water supply for the population and crop irrigation. With the development of electric energy towards the end of the 19th century, dams have the function of generating electricity, thus generating hydroelectric energy [21]. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), this type of energy will be a key source of electricity generation in the future [22].…”
