How can hydroelectric energy be used?

by plant produced.+++Four people found that useful?1) The word "energy" is superfluous: if it's hydroelectric it's obviously electrical energy, so you need only to call it "hydroelectricity". Electricity is a form of energy.2) How it's used: to power anything needing electricity, from factories, schools, hospitals etc, to homes and the appliances in them, including your computer or 'phone charger.Hydroelectric energy is used in the same way that other energy forms are used. The falling water rotates a turbine connected to the generator that produces the electricity. This electricity is then transported to be used to power every day household supplies. Hydroelectric energy is used in various ways. This is mainly used as a source of producing electricity as the water flows through the turbines.OKHydroelctric energy, today, is used in multiple ways. The energy harnessed by the water flowing threw the dams or reservios is transported by wires to a power plant and then transfered into different forms of energy. The energy tis is used, is used for powering home, buisness, factories, and many more places.
