produced from moving water.Usally the water is stored behind a dam on a river.As the water passess throuth a turbine, it spins the blades of the turbine.The rotating motion turns on a generator which produces electicity.

Yes that is hydroelectricity.We have lots of that in my area and the water is pumped up into what is called a flume and goes upriver to be released to turn the generator.The flume is built out of logs.

hydroelectricity is considered a renewable energy and a sustainable source of energy. Unlike the solar energy, the production cost of hydroelectricity is much less. Although it can cause some environmental problems due to damming the water, still it is a sustainable source of energy. There are many big hydroelectricity projects including the Three Gorges in China which can produce thousands of MW electricity.
