Hydroelectric power is power that is generated through the movement of flowing or falling water. This method of providing energy is clean and very healthy for the environment. People have been using hydro power as a renewable source of energy for centuries. People used to just use water wheels made out of wood, but today we have these big elaborite plants that convert tons of water into energy for a huge city. Hydroelectric power is the most widely used form of energy, renewable energy.

The first hydroelectric plant in history started producing electricity in 1882. It was located in the state of Wisconsin, and used the Fox River for electrical generation. Renewable energy is very important. A long as there plenty of water, we have power.
