"Hydro" means water so a hydroelectric plant is powered by moving water. Water just moving down a stream loses energy as it flows downstream. Think about how much energy you would have to use to move the water back upstream by using a bucket. The higher the water has to fall the more energy can be harvested. A good example is the Hoover dam. Water builds up behind the dam. It is then allowed to flow through pipes to push on turbines which turn generators which produce electricity.This will somewhat a useful energy when it comes to energy use.😋
