Answer:

Advantage: Hydropower is a fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source.

Advantage: It is a domestic source of energy in the US.

Disadvantage: Fish populations can be impacted if fish cannot migrate upstream past impoundment dams to spawning grounds or if they cannot migrate downstream to the ocean.

Disadvantage: Hydropower plants can be impacted by drought. When water is not available, the hydropower plants can't produce electricity.
