what are the disadvantages of friction?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example friction can reduce the energy provided by a hydroelectric power plant, since part of the hydraulic energy, namely the potential energy of water falling down from a waterfall, is dissipated against the friction acting on the hydraulic turbine during its motion

OpenStudy (nincompoop):
