Large hydro power would be a dam in a river, storing water and generating electricity for agricultural, industrial and domestic use.

Small hydro power systems could be as small as a turbine in a stream providing electricity to a single farm.

What the difference between ocean energy and hydro energy?

Ocean energy refers to various forms of renewable energy derived from the ocean, such as tidal, wave, and thermal energy. Hydro energy, on the other hand, specifically refers to energy generated from flowing water in rivers or dams. While both sources come from water, ocean energy harnesses the power of the ocean, while hydro energy focuses on rivers and dams.


What is a renewable energy source that uses water?

# Hydro-electricity (dams, rivers, tidal barrages, water wheels) # Tidal power # Wave power # Ocean Thermal energy (the difference in temperature between surface water and deep water)


Can renewable energy sources generate large amounts of electricity?

Sure they can. Hydro power for instance can have huge capacity.
