my social studies teacher told me hydroelectric power comes from water. hydro = water
Technically, hydroelectric energy ultimately comes from the sun. This is because the sun's energy heats up water, moving water through the water cycle. Hydroelectric energy is generated by harnessing the power created by the movement of this water.
Hydropower is dependent on the sun because the sun makes the water cycle work. The sun evaporates water in the ocean and from other places and then it rains into rivers which in turn flow into the Hydroelectric dams. If the sun wasn't there the water cycle would stop.

Idaho. 78% of their power comes from hydroelectric sources.

Hydroelectric power is formed using water falling from a high pint to a low one through turbines. While the power is generated by using gravitational energy, this ultimately does come from the sun.

Hydroelectric power is made from water.

Hydroelectric power does not necessarily start with the sun, because water pumped or carried up to a lake made by man (or woman) behind a dam will push that water through a turbine to turn a generator. This is not to say that the sun has nothing to do with rain water that yearly collects on the same lake.
Hydroelectric power is produced by running water.
hydroelectric energy is energy that comes from water
hydroelectric power is an important for producing the power in the low loss of energy..energy is nothing but producing the power....so we can easily produce the power from hydroelectric power plant.
Indirectly, yes.You need the sun to evaporate water which falls as rain. That forms streams and then rivers. These are dammed and power generated by the forcing the water to drive turbines.
There are hundreds of hydroelectric power stations in England.
It isn't directly. But the sun evaporates ocean water which moves inland and forms rain clouds that fill rivers with water.
