Daniel Deudney is a political scientist and Associate Professor of political science and Johns Hopkins University. His published work is mainly on political theory and internatatonal relations, with a specific emphasis on geopolitics. His awards include the Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association Excellence in Teaching, and the George E. Owens Teaching Award. This article starts by talking about the early beginning of hydropower in the 4th century BC. Then it talks about hydropower’s usage distribution throughout the world in the 1900s and modern day. After that, it talks about the parts of a hydro-project, and the regions that a hydro-project is built. Next, it talks about the construction of dams, and their environmental effects. Finally, it talks about small scale hydro-projects. This was a good article because it gave details on the environmental effects of a reservoir, where no other resource that I have found had provided that information. The only problem with this article was that it had a small amount of unnecessary information. This aided my research because it gave many small details that other articles and sites didn’t provide, like the amount of electricity produced by leading countries. Note to Teacher: The title of the article was specifically uncapitolized; I didn’t ignore it.
