Regarding hydroelectricity, the fall of water from a higher level to a lower level helps in spinning the water turbines that turns the electric generator system and hence producing electricity.
Regarding wind energy, the wind flow spins the blades of the wind towers that in turn operates the electric generator system and hence producing electricity.
