What is hydro energy?

Hydro energy (hydroelectricity) is electricity made by using a moving water source (kinetic energy), usually a river, falling by gravity (potential gravitational energy) to turn electric generators. It is the most common form of renewable energy.


Why is hydro-electricity a clean source of energy?

How is hydro power used?

Hydropower is used to make electricity, usually at dams. Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy source, with energy captured from moving water.


How is hydro power changed into other useful forms of energy?

Hydropower is usually converted into electricity by using turbines to convert the energy of moving water into mechanical energy, which then drives generators to produce electricity. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other electric devices. Alternatively, hydropower can also be used to pump water for irrigation or to store potential energy by pumping water uphill to be released later for electricity generation.


How is hydro electricity connected to renewable energy?

Provided water was available in dams, hydro electricity can be produced indefinitely.
