Heavy water is defined as water made with either Deuterium (Hydrogen with 1 neutron) or Tritium (Hydrogen with 2 neutrons).

Deuterium is stable.

Tritium is radioactive, but is of very low energy. However, it has been used successfully to make things like EXIT lights glow.

There is no particular potential energy gradient that could be utilized between "normal" water and "heavy" water.

Deuterium or Tritium may eventually be used in Nuclear Fusion.

Fusion Bombs (Hydrogen Bombs) have been made for decades. However, it has been a daunting task to control the nuclear fusion to produce usable energy.

There is ongoing research with building Nuclear Fusion Powerplants, especially in the European Union.

What is the original source of energy for hydroelectricity?

The original source of energy for hydroelectricity is the gravitational potential energy of water stored in dams or reservoirs. When this water is released and flows through turbines, it generates mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy.

What was the driving force of water?

Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.
