In our world we are trying to come up with many different ways to solve one of the biggest problems faced today-pollution. One way that we are trying to solve this problem is through hydroelctricity, or electricity powered by water. Water flows in from a reservoir, into a power house with a turbine in it, the water then turns the turbine, which is connected to a generator, and creates electricty.

So to answer the question, hydroelectricty, or hydroelectric power, uses water to create electricity.
