Hydroelectric power is, of course, generated in areas that have the right sort of topography. Mountainous regions are often appropriate, because they allow for the formation of large, deep reservoirs, such that the retained water accumulates a great deal of gravitational potential energy. Naturally the large, powerful rivers of great continents have more potential for the generation of electricity than the more humble ones of, for example, Britain.
The question of where the electricity is actually used is a slightly different one. High voltage wires allow for the relatively efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. And within a particular electric grid, it isn't usually valid to say that your electricity comes from any one particular source of the several that may be connected.
Hydro electric power are very common in because they are cheap and more available source of power
hydro electric power
Electric power industry and manufacturing rely on hydro power. Most of the electricity that is generated by hydroelectric plants in the United States of America use hydro power.
Hydro Electric Dams, Geothermal, Wind Power
There are most definaely small hydro power generators for the home. There are a great device for saving energy and making electric power. They are becoming more mainstream.
Power stations, hydro electric schemes, aircraft engines, wind turbines.
through hydro electric power from the dozens of waterfalls scattered throughout the continent.
Hydro-Electric Power is the most renewable Energy resource that we have; while Water Still Flows.
Coal and bagasse
Well I live in BC and it does a lot of hydro power the the greatest is Quebec.
It is mostly Used By Canada, US and Brazil Brazil= 10% Us=10% Canada=70% Canada uses the most hydro electric power in the world
