The construction of hydropower refers to the use of rivers and lakes such as river and lakes, which are located at high places at high places. The positions contained in it can be converted into the kinetic energy of the water turbine, and then the water turbine is used as the original power to promote the power generator to generate electricity. The hydropower system can transport and provide cheap and polluting electricity to the social and mining enterprise units and families. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China, my country's hydropower construction has developed rapidly, and the postal department has issued a series of stamps related to the achievement of hydropower construction. for example:
