Also indexed as: Hydroelectricity

Hydroelectricity (or hydropower) is one of the oldest and most widely used forms of renewable energy. It exploits the mechanical energy of falling water to drive a turbine, of which there are a wide range of designs. Systems range from low-head (<3m) to high head (>20m).
