Hydroelectric power is created by water falling against a turbine by the force of gravity. If the water doesn't have a high place to fall from, there won't be any power.
Hydro power plants are usually located inside the dams that hold back the rivers.
Yes. Hydro power stations are in the middle of countries

Power stations, hydro electric schemes, aircraft engines, wind turbines.
A mountainous region would likely be a good source for hydropower energy due to abundant flowing water that can be harnessed for hydroelectric power generation.
There are 9 working power stations on the Waikato River between Lake Taupo and the river's mouth at Port Waikato. There are also two decommissioned power stations on the river.From Lake Taupo, they are:Wairakei (176MW geothermal)Aratiatia (84MW hydro)Ohaaki (50MW geothermal)Ohakuri (112MW hydro)Atiamuri (84MW hydro)Whakamaru (100MW hydro)Maraetai (360MW hydro)Waipapa (51MW hydro)Arapuni (197MW hydro)Karapiro (96MW hydro)Huntly (1435MW coal/gas)The two decommissioned stations are:Horahora (hydro): between Arapuni and Karapiro. Was submerged in 1947 when Lake Karapiro was filledMeremere (coal): between Huntly and Port Waikato. Was decommisioned in 1991 after 33 years in service.The one you are most likely to be talking about is Huntly - it's on the Waikato River between Auckland and Hamilton, easily seen from State Highway 1.

Those with a high rainfall and a mountainous terrain. Norway and Newzealand spring to mind.
