Extra Information :-
It is made with the help of the generators that are pushed by the water. It is usually made with dams.
There is a battery connected to the dynamo and there's a turbine. After passing electricity , the turbine rotates and can be used for producing electricity as will as hydroelectricity.
Hydroelectricity is a renewable source of energy. It is so because , if one finished, it can be renewed in a short period of time.
It (renewable sources of energy) is also called as the inexhaustible source of energy because it can't be finished permanently.
It is also called as non - conventional source of energy because it is available easily in the environment.
It is also called as the traditional source of energy.

QUESTION :-
What is hydroelectricity ?
ANSWER :-
- Hydroelectricity is electricity produced from hydropower. In 2015, hydropower generated 16.6% of the world's total electricity and 70% of all renewable electricity,[1] and was expected to increase by about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years.
- Hydropower is produced in 150 countries, with the Asia-Pacific region generating 33 percent of global hydropower in 2013. China is the largest hydroelectricity producer, with 920 TWh of production in 2013, representing 16.9% of domestic electricity use.
- The cost of hydroelectricity is relatively low, making it a competitive source of renewable electricity. The hydro station consumes no water, unlike coal or gas plants. The typical cost of electricity from a hydro station larger than 10 megawatts is 3 to 5 US cents per kilowatt hour.With a dam and reservoir it is also a flexible source of electricity, since the amount produced by the station can be varied up or down very rapidly (as little as a few seconds) to adapt to changing energy demands. Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, the project produces no direct waste, and it generally has a considerably lower output level of greenhouse gases than photovoltaic power plants and certainly fossil fuel powered energy plants (see also Life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions of energy sources). However, when constructed in lowland rainforest areas, where inundation of a part of the forest is necessary, they actually emit up to 3 to 4 times more greenhouse gasesm
