Hydro plants range in size from arbitrarily small to the largest power plant in the world.
On the small side, there are hydro power generators that literally can fit onto a person's hand, with very small output. Some people use very small generators to produce power for their homes or for other off-grid use of power. There is no reason why a much smaller model could be produced, though it would probably not have a practical application.
The Three Gorges Dam in China is the largest electric plant in the world, in terms of output. It currently has an output of 18,200, but will not achieve full power until 2011, when its output will be 22,500 MW. This is several times the output of a large nuclear facility.

Hydro power is using the power of water (dams, rivers, oceans) to generate electricity. The uses of electricity are everywhere, powering factories, offices, homes, kitchens and living rooms. To produce electricity
Dams can be used to produce hydro electric power
It could produce electricity for your home.
Hydro means 'fluid' and Hydro-electric means electricity derived from devices driven by fluid. IE a hydro-electric power plant uses the power of water channeled from a dam to drive water turbines which in turn drive the generators that produce the electricity.
Turbine is moved with flow of water and this is coupled with generator to produce electricity
Hydro power is used mainly to produce electricity .That happens in hydro power plants
Hydro-electric power (the power of moving water and gravity in dams, rivers, tides and ocean waves) produces electricity only.
everyone that can afford it. And you can use it for electricity, electric motors, electric heat
By using water pressure to power generators.
We can utilize wind power and use hydro-electric power.

Electric power industry and manufacturing rely on hydro power. Most of the electricity that is generated by hydroelectric plants in the United States of America use hydro power.
