Why water wheels are not used to generate electricity?

Water wheels are not as commonly used to generate electricity as they were in the past due to limitations in efficiency and scalability. Modern hydropower technology, such as turbines, is more efficient and can generate larger amounts of electricity. Additionally, water wheels are limited in their ability to generate power in variable flow conditions.
