hey dude i think you got some facts wrong! a hydro unit will not dirty the water in any way! lol they dont work that way. you would have a area fenced off and a no boating area around the intake area.. but very little dirt or any other stuff will be sucked up the line.. the turbin runs on water not dirt! they will try and keep as much sedment and other muck out of the turbin.. they dont run good if not clean..your missing point tho! the altrunative is, coal fire,oil fire,nuclur,.. acid rain or 10,000 years of wast..? hydro and geothromerl are the only high out put power plants that dont do great damage to the invironment..
so as upset as ya get about a small part of the lake being messed up by something like this.. it is a good clean power source!
do some home work on lakes that have BIG BUSINESS power plants on them. not coal fire.. hydro units. silverwood and castac come to mind to me in So. Cal.. 2 of the best fishing lakes in So Cal. why? Big Business is takeing care of the lake in every way doing water tests planting fish or paying for the cost! make all kinds of inprovements to make the lake even better.. why so they dont get blamed for anythnig going wrong with the lake that would put they'er turbin in jerpity...
oh and how it works is: it takes 1 1/8 the power to pump the water back up the hill as the turbin will prduce in one day. they will make money!
