Hydropower is a sustainable and renewable source of energy due to large amount of the energy generated by hydropower plants. Dams or reservoirs can be used for many purposes such as irrigation, fishing, water sports and bird sanctuary. This gives us a solution for the problem of today's boom and gloom economy. These cause severe damage to our environment to maximize the benefits and minimize the negative environment social and economic impacts, sustainability of water resource project is required. In this paper we will analysis the hydropower technology as a sustainable energy source and its impact on environment.

Ultimate loads, load-deflection curves, cracking and crushing patterns have been compared with those of the RC beams without steel fiber henceforth noted as controlled beam. A total of four sets of experiments each having three concrete beams, one set control beam and three sets with randomly distributed discrete steel fiber at different depths henceforth noted as fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) beam, were performed to determine the most economical structure in the perspective of ultimate strength and shear capacity. From the test results, it was found that incorporation of steel fiber in RC beams have shown to be effective in enhancing the shear strength capacity. It has also been observed that the strength increases with the use of varying depth of steel fiber. Beam strengthened using this scheme has shown 20% increase in shear strength and ultimate load in comparison to controlled beam.
