Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
Which was the first hydroelectric dam?
Depending on who you believe, the first hydroelectric generator was either at Niagara Falls in 1880 or at Appleton, Wisconsin in 1882. However, it is unclear whether either of these had a dam - they may have been simple waterwheels.
What were the effects of the Yangtze dam in China?

Which process describes the movement from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?

How does hydroelectric energy move through the system?
Hydroelectric power flows out of the generators and gets stepped up to transmission levels for transportation to the towns and cities where it is consumed. Once the hydroelectric power reaches the transmission system, it joins power provided from fossil fuel, nuclear, wind, and solar power generators on its way to metropolitan areas.
