Hydro power is usually installed along with a large dam or barrage which is built across a suitable point of a river to form an artificial lake. A good example in the US is the Boulder or Hoover dam on the Colorado River near Las Vegas. Some countries have developed a lot of hydro because they have suitable sites, like Canada, Norway, and New Zealand. In the US hydro produces about 7 percent of electricity.
