Not by itself. But if you have a large amount of water at a certain height (and the possibility to let it flow down), then you may have a large amount of gravitational potential energy stored in the water.

What was the driving force of water?

Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.
