2 What is hydroelectric power?... Hydroelectric power is the act of using liquids as a power source such as turbines and water mills. http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/19700/19798/water_mill_19798_lg.gif http://www.rise.org.au/info/Tech/hydro/image003.jpg http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/19700/19798/water_mill_19798_lg.gif http://www.rise.org.au/info/Tech/hydro/image003.jpg

3 What is the most famous water turbine plant? If you answered Hoover dam you are correct!!! The Hoover dam is the most country renowned dam in the USA. http://www.engineering.unl.edu/publications/bluepri nt/Fall2004/images/hooverdam.jpg http://www.engineering.unl.edu/publications/bluepri nt/Fall2004/images/hooverdam.jpg

4 Hydroelectric power facts Did you know? The first hydroelectric power plant started in 1882. It is located in Wisconsin using the fox river for power. Did you know? Hydroelectric power is used in many countries including brazil, Canada, Russia, Tanzania, Iceland, north Korea, and new Zealand. http://hubpages.com/hub/facts-about-hydroelectric-energy

5 Hydroelectric power facts continued Did you know? California's hydroelectric turbines make 15% of California's electricity! Did you know? China makes more hydroelectric energy then any other country! Did you know? 20% of the worlds electricity comes from hydro power! http://hubpages.com/hub/facts-about- hydroelectric-energy

6 hydroelectric power Questions The average cost for hydroelectric power is 0.7 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) Hydroelectric power(hep) comes from a moving liquid source Hydroelectric power is easy to find. also it can be used almost anywhere such as a river, stream, lake, or ocean It is also on hard to collect on large scales, but easy on small scale Hydroelectric power is available to everyone on Earth

7 How hydro power works. Hydroelectric power is made when a moving liquid turns a turbine which turns a magnet and makes electricity. Check out this website! http://www.chiff.com/society/hydro- electric.htm clip art http://www.chiff.com/society/hydro- electric.htm
