it is used almost everywhere!
Hydropower is the energy captures from moving water and it has been used since the beginning of time. It is typically used to make electricity and often comes from dams.
Once hydroelectric power is placed on the wires and stepped up to the transmission system level, it can power anything that can be powered by any other means. Let me let you in a little secret; hydro power can clear itself from a dead system and power itself, and then it can power a substation nearby to enable gas powered plants to get its themselves started -- to eventually bring an entire transmission system back to life. There is a use for hydro power.
