Hydropower development and management is an important source of electricity production, especially in developing countries. However, the process of hydropower development poses several risks particularly regarding power-related issues like inadequate planning, unsuitable site selection, and poor maintenance that may affect the project's performance and overall power generation. Furthermore, natural disasters such as floods and landslides would damage the project's infrastructure, leading to loss of power production and increased costs. Another significant challenge in hydropower management is the fluctuation in water supply. Changes in water levels may significantly impact power generation as it directly affects turbine efficiency and power output. This in turn leads to revenue and financial losses for the project. The electricity generated by hydropower is often transferred through transmission lines, which are also subject to potential risks such as weather-related outages, equipment failure, and damage from natural disasters. Therefore, it is crucial to implement appropriate measures to ensure the reliable and efficient transmission of electricity. This paper reviews the risk involved in Hydropower development and management of power-related issues and suggests some mitigation measures such as proper planning, selection, and preventive maintenance, which may enhance the projects performance and profitability.
