 Hydroelectric energy, also called hydroelectric power or hydroelectricity, is a form of energy that harnesses the   power of water in motion—such as water flowing over a waterfall—to generate electricity. People have used   this force for millennia. Over 2,000 years ago, people in Greece used flowing water to turn the wheel of their   mill to ground wheat into flour(National Geographic).
