  Let's consider two rivers Yamuna and Suryu flows in the same state of Madhya Pradesh. Yamuna is flowing with sharp gradient/slope of 1/20 meter where as Suru is flowing on gentle slope of 1/200m. Then which river is best suitable for construction of dam for hydroelectric purpose?           

Answer:

                  Slope is a major factor for harvesting hydro electricity so Yamuna is quite suitable over Suryu for its high gradient.
