The waterwheel is an ancient When_was_the_water_wheel_inventedthat uses flowing or falling water to create power by means of a set of paddles mounted around a wheel. The force of the water moved the paddles, and the consequent rotation of the wheel is transmitted to machinery via the shaft of the wheel. One of the first references to its use dates back to about 400 B.C., where, in a poem by an early Greek writer, Antipater, it tells about the freedom from the toil of young women who operated When_was_the_water_wheel_inventedhandmills to grind corn.
However, it is not the only reference to water, and definitely not the first,since there is strong evidence that Sumerians from ancient Mesopotamia (southern Iraq) used them for irrigation at around 5000-4000 BC. They were used for crop irrigation, grinding grains, supply drinking water to villages and later to drive sawmills, pumps, forge bellows, tilt-hammers, trip hammers, and to When_was_the_water_wheel_inventedtextile mills. They were probably the first method of creating mechanical energy that replaced humans and animals.
A diagram was made of it, it was (not built) by Leonardo da vinci in 1480-1482 A.D.

Arguable... the first form of hydropower may be considered to be the waterwheel. In which case the inventor is unknown.
