Hydroelectric power is used all the time. It has been estimated that hydroelectric power is responsible for up to 20% of the worlds electricity. A large percent of this from China.
Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.
The process of using falling water to spin turbines is called hydroelectric power.

Idaho. 78% of their power comes from hydroelectric sources.
China uses the most Hydroelectric power in the world
about 20%.

Hydroelectric power plants. They have dams and generators. Water flows through a dam, which spins generators that produce hydroelectric electricity. (Fun Fact: The Hoover Dam is the biggest hydroelectric power plant.)
we use the most hydroelectric power in kansas
A hydroelectric dam uses the force of flowing water to drive turbines which generate electric power.
Hydroelectric power
Both use the flow of water generate electricity. Hydroelectric uses the flow of water from a high point to a low point. (A damn). Tidal power uses the flow of ocean tides in and out.
This is renewable energy, it uses water to push the turbine that powers the generator that makes electricity, so as long as there is water there will be Hydroelectric power. :)
The turbines or Pelton wheels in a hydroelectric power plant are turned by water pressure.
