A small scale hydro power plant in La Paz, Bolivia. La Paz depends for its water supply, the surrounding glaciated andead mountains. As climate change is causing the glaciers to retreat, the city is becoming increasingly short on water. In fact La Paz will enevitably be the world's first capital city to run completely out of water. As well as critical water shortages, it also means that power production is affected, as at times there is not sufficient water to turn the hydro turbines.
