Hydropower, or hydroelectric power, is a renewable source of energy that generates power by using a dam or diversion structure to alter the natural flow of a river or other body of water.
Hydropower technologies generate power by using the elevation difference, created by a dam or diversion structure, of water flowing in on one side and out, far below, on the other. The Department of Energy's "Hydropower 101" video explains how hydropower works and highlights some of the research and development efforts of the Water Power ...
How Does Hydropower Work? Most of the country's hydropower facilities were built in lakes, streams, and rivers decades ago. They often used large dams that block the water's flow, creating a pool of water above the structure. One or more pipes give that pooled water a path to surge downhill.
