Where is hydro electric power most useful?

Answer 1

Hydroelectric power is, of course, generated in areas that have the right sort of topography. Mountainous regions are often appropriate, because they allow for the formation of large, deep reservoirs, such that the retained water accumulates a great deal of gravitational potential energy. Naturally the large, powerful rivers of great continents have more potential for the generation of electricity than the more humble ones of, for example, Britain.

The question of where the electricity is actually used is a slightly different one. High voltage wires allow for the relatively efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. And within a particular electric grid, it isn't usually valid to say that your electricity comes from any one particular source of the several that may be connected.

Answer 2

Hydro is used all over the world. It may not be used in areas we know but hydro is being used in every major city. It is not used in the countries of which cannot afford it but in all most every part of the world hydro is being used

Answer 3
