Climate action, hydropower and climate change.

氣候行動、水電和氣候變化；

When it comes to fighting climate change, many people look to switching from fossil fuels to alternate sources of power.

當談到應對氣候變化時，許多人都希望從化石燃料轉向替代能源。

Like hydropower, hydropower plants use the turbine that converts the kinetic energy from falling water into mechanical energy.

和水電一樣，水電站也是利用水輪機將落水的動能轉化為機械能。

Although hydropower didn't pollute the water or air, it does have a negative effect on the environment.

雖然水電沒有汙染水和空氣，但對環境有負面影響。

The dam and reservoir needed to operate a hydropower plant may disturb the migration patterns of fish in the area.

水電站運行所需的水壩和水庫可能會干擾該地區魚類的遷徙模式。

The plant may also increase the water's temperature, which could affect surrounding plant and animal life.

植物也可能會增加水的溫度，從而影響周圍的植物和動物。

This warming can also create a change in precipitation and make wet places wetter and dry places.

這種變暖也會造成降水的變化，使溼潤的地方更溼潤，乾燥的地方更乾燥。

Climate change presents a new challenge for hydropower, but it also presents an opportunity for development.

氣候變化給水電帶來了新的挑戰，但也帶來了發展的機遇。

Hydropower dams have been around for over 100 years.

水電站大壩已經有100多年的歷史。

Updating these dams to make them more energy efficient can help to reduce the negative effects they produce.

更新這些水壩，使其更加節能，可以幫助減少其產生的負面影響。

Also on Lee a small percentage of existing dams in the United States of hydropower capacity.

同時，在美國現有大壩的水電容量中，李的比例也很小。

But when it comes to hydropower dams, it's more important to focus on quality over quantity, maximizing efficiency responsible operation and environmental performance are the keys to making hydropower be the climate change friendly source of energy.

但在水電大壩方面，更要注重質量而不是數量，最大限度地提高效率負責任的運行和環保性能是讓水電成為氣候變化友好型能源的關鍵。

We want it to be.

我們希望它是。

Hydropower is viewed as the go to alternative energy source.

水電被視為替代能源的首選。

It's up to us to make this vision a reality.

我們要把這個願景變成現實。
