Hydro means 'water'. So, hydropower is 'water power' and hydroelectric power is electricity generated using water power. Potential energy (or the 'stored' energy in a reservoir) becomes kinetic (or moving energy). This is changed to mechanical energy in a power plant, which is then turned into elect...

Hydroelectric power (HEP) is electricity generated by moving water. In a typical HEP scheme, water stored in a reservoir, often created by damming a river, is piped into water turbines, coupled to electricity generators. In pumped storage plants, water flowing through the turbines is recycled. A tidal power station exploits the rise and fall of the...
