Because hydroelectric plants are important because they provide a low poultion and cheap energy. The plants are expensive to build.
Hydro electricity
Theere are a great many waterfalls in New Zealand, as the terrain is generally not flat and most areas get reasonable to high rainfall. Therefore there are many streams and rivers that run over several abrupt changes in level, creating waterfalls.
Guyana cannot be considered a hydro electric country - it has several small hydro plants scattered throughout the country; but the major power station is still fuel based. A major hydro electric power station is planned with neighboring Suriname.
They use about 78% nuclear, 15%hydro and 7% fossil fuels.

1.Water is collected at a certain height in huge reservoirs. 2.This water,which has lot of potential energy 3.The energy of falling water is used for generating electricity in hydro-electric power stations 4.In hydro-electric power plants turbines are used to convert the energy of falling water into mechanical energy 5.Hydro-electric power plants have least operating cost 6.They are free from environmental problem

A hydro-electric power station is a facility that generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water to turn turbines, which then produce electrical power. This renewable energy source harnesses the gravitational force of water to create electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydro-electric power stations can vary in size from small-scale installations to large dams and reservoirs.
Power stations, hydro electric schemes, aircraft engines, wind turbines.
hydro means hydro

examples are refineries,iron ores,hydro electric power stations and factories .......by...matilda taribo
no it's from water, they send the water through a dam which has turbines in it and the water turns the turbines generating energy.
because there are turbins that relie on the water to spin the turbins when the geats are open
It is the way of using for example a river or a water fall for generating electricity. Using a water wheel is a way of hydro electric power.
Scottish Hydro Electric was created in 1989.
