Both large hydroelectric dams and little run-of-the-river power plants use hydroelectricity. Although there are still being built numerous large hydroelectric dams throughout the world (particularly in China and Brazil), it is unlikely that any new ones will be added to the U.S. fleet in the near future.

Instead, new run-of-the-river projects and enhanced capacity at existing dams are more likely to be the direction of hydroelectric electricity in the United States in the future. Both kinds of plants have an impact on the environment.
