Hydro Power As mentioned before, any moving object has a kinetic form of energy. In this context, rainfall and water flowing in rivers and water falls all have the ability to work. Water mills, a wooden wheel run by flowing water are used for hundred years in some parts of the world for the mostly grinding folur or corn turning of a well can be done by pouring water from the top or by laying its blades in the path of water flow as seen in a river. Nowadays, electricity generation is added to the other usages. Hydro, a Greek name for water is used in the hydroelectric power term, referring to any kind of water kinetic or potential energy used to produce electricity. Dams are a barrier for flowing water, to make large reservoir of waters behind. Depending to the height of water built up behind the – dam, as well its volume, different kinds of turbines have been used. In general the rush of high volume of water through turbine blades, causes the shaft connected to them, turn the generator common shaft.   The electricity produced here are transferred by overhead power lines to ling distances areas. Hydro power is found wherever there are large amount of water, Hydro power is found wherever there are large amount of water, namely mountainous areas and lakes.
