Which outcome incorrectly applies mass-energy equivalence in hydroelectric generation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced reservoir mass doesn't noticeably lower power output because mass-energy equivalence effects manifest at nuclear scales through nuclear binding energies that drive reactions via fusion/fission, rather than chemically or gravitationally. Small percentage gains in power occur from increased water input rather than changes in source mass.
