What is a draw back for hydroelectric energy?
Hydroelectric power plants generate very little electric current for the cost of building, using, and maintaining the equipment used to produce it.

What are the limitations of hydroelectric energy?
what are the limitations of hdroelectric energy?the first one is most suitable rivers have already been dammed the second one is dams can have negative effects on the environment.
How do electrical charges behave?

Where is hydropower used?
Hydro energy is using the power of water to run a machine. It was invented thousands of years ago when millers used the power of a stream to turn a paddle wheel to grind their corn into flour. The Romans and Greeks used hydro power around 200 BC.The use of hydro energy to produce electricity is much more modern. About 1870 a miner connected a dynamo to a water wheel to generate electricity.See the related question below.

Is the source of hydroelectric power considered fossil fuel?
Hydroelectric is ultimately solar power. The water that powers the dams is brought in from the ocean by solar evaporation that returns to the earth in the form of rain or snow. Aside from the costs (not just money but also environmental) of building dams, hydroelectric power is free for the taking.
