| Abstract | |
This study approaches the production of hydroelectric power from the perspective of critical geography and emphasizes that water is a natural element in all of its manifestations, being that its use transforms it into a natural and productive resource. Water is not a direct source of electricity. It is a natural condition of a place. The construction of hydroelectric power plants puts water in fixed circuits, making it a part of productive circuits. The data collection of these equipments, especially large hydropower plants in Brazil, is important for geography from a theoretical point of view because they have great fixity on the territory and are aggregated as true territorial prostheses. Their analysis serves as spatial planning, which is crucial for the planning of the country. (AU) | |
