Hydropower

Hydropower refers to energy, mostly electric, which is derived from water in motion. This power is harnessed and used to drive mechanical devices. The main advantage of this form of energy is that it is clean and renewable. Hydropower plants are actually based on a rather simple concept -- water flowing through a dam turns a turbine, which turns a generator.
