Water used in nature
Already for a long time the water used for various purposes. In agriculture it was used to irrigate fields, millers used the water to grind grain and saw mills to cut wood. Rivers were also transport routes for people and for the carriage of goods. There was thought that it may also in future be used to illuminate our homes, or to produce electricity.
Nowadays, the environment is very important in every country. Energy from flowing water is one of the renewable sources of energy and its impact on the environment is much smaller than, for example. Power plants that burn coal, oil or gas. More and more so-called emerging. hydroelectric power plant that is located on the river and using flowing water to generate electricity is no longer a novelty. Hydroelectric power can occur on virtually all rivers, the larger the river and more rapid current of the power plant can produce more electricity. Although we have access to the sea in Poland it uses only the energy contained in the flowing river, ie. energy and hydro. Worldwide use also of wave and tidal energy.

Hydroelectric power,China
Hydroelectric power station - an industrial plant which converts the potential energy of water into electricity.
Hydroelectric power is the most extensively used source of renewable energy. In 2013, they delivered a total of 3782 TWh of electricity, representing 16% of total electricity production in the world
