Electricity generated by utilizing the downward movement of water.
Electrical power that is produced from hydroelectric dams or, in some cases, natural waterfalls.
the harnessing of flowing water to produce mechanical or electrical energy.
converting the energy of flowing water into electrical energy (electricity). Hydroelectric power is usually generated at dams.
Energy made from flowing water.
Electricity generated from moving water stored behind a dam. Energy
Hydroelectric power plants convert the energy contained in flowing water, like rivers and streams, into electricity. Click here for more information about hydroelectric power.
energy derived from the kinetic energy of moving water.
Electrical energy produced by the action of moving water. ( hydroélectricité)
Electric energy generated by means of a power generator coupled to a turbine through which water passes.
Electric current produced from water power.
Power obtained from the natural movement of masses of water. Hydroelectric power plants convert the energy contained in flowing water, like rivers and streams, into electricity. Low impact hydro plants also called 'run of river' plants, are considered renewable sources of electricity. Larger hydro projects, known as storage hydro or high impact, cause concern because dams can change natural river flows, degrade water quality and block fish migration. Hydropower currently provides about 10 per cent of the electricity generated in the United States - a percentage unlikely to increase dramatically, both because few new sites remain for the construction of large dams and because of general opposition to building large new facilities on environmental grounds. Hydropower currently provides almost 60 per cent of electricity generated in Canada.
(HEP) is electricity generated from the energy in falling water.
Electricity generated by an electric power plant whose turbines are driven by falling water.
Electrical energy produced by flowing water.
of or relating to production of electricity by waterpower
The use of flowing water to produce electrical energy.
the result of energy that is harnessed from the force of falling or running water; can be converted into electricity
Capturing flowing water to produce electrical energy.
