This energy source is renewable, because it is made by the power in moving water. For an example, water is stopped by a dam and when the dam is released, the water spins a turbine converting kinetic energy into electric energy. . Pollution Busters. Contents.

In India, water wheels and watermills were built; in Imperial Rome, water powered mills produced flour from grain, and were also used for sawing timber and stone; in China, watermills were widely used since the Han Dynasty. In China and the rest of the Far East, hydraulically operated "pot wheel" pumps raised water into irrigation canals. In 1753, French engineer Bernard Forest de . 1900-1929. The second phase of industrialization in Canada was characterized by a rapid expansion of industries that developed because of new sources of energy: . hydroelectricity and oil. Staying competitive. HOW HYDROELECTRICITY IS GENERATED Providing about 7% of all renewable energy in the U.S., and about 11% of New Hampshire’s electricity, hydroelectric power is generated by a reusable force of w Definitions of what constitutes By: Trevor Jordan & . niles. . Definition . Hydroelectricity- is the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.. explanation. Water is needed to run a hydro electrical power generating unit. The water is held behind a dam, forming an artificial lake, or reservoir. The force of the water being released from the reservoir through the dam, spins the blades of a giant turbine. The spinning turbine is what is used to gather the electricity. .

How does this . alternative . Energy Source. What is it?. Hydroelectric energy is made by moving water.. Hydro is a prefix and comes from the Greek word for water.. The water flowing causes the turbines to turn, which then makes the generators move, creating electricity.. Concept. Use the gravitational force of falling or flowing water to turn a turbine, which produces energy. . Hydroelectric power is the oldest form of power, first seen in ancient times to grind flower and other tasks. .
