What is the description of hydroelectric energy?

Hydroelectric energy is generated by harnessing the gravitational force of falling or flowing water to drive turbines that produce electricity. It is a renewable and clean energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Hydroelectric power plants can vary in size, from large-scale dams to smaller run-of-river installations.
