Water+Power+new+Information

Waves are created in the oceans by strong winds which turn in and driven by the sun by differential heating of the earth's surface. Water power is a principle, clean because there are none of the six identified polluting gases produced and moreover, the power is renewable.

Hydro Power comes from dams. Hydro power generates technology and maybe as one fifth of the world's electricity is generated this way, which is more than nuclear generation.



With a small house and a creek in the backyard generating the house by 75% power generated to the house, which is great. However, there are not so good things about a backyard dam, in winter there are sideaffects in the dam you have. In winter the creek will be frozen and wont have that much energy to support the house. Winter are one of the worst times for Water Powerd Energy.

This is a small dam in a tiny waterfall generating energy to support a house. Its basically a water weel spinning around when the water goes through the wheel.



This is a Water Cycle and if we did not have this we would not be able to greate energy for many homes and uses. Of the renewable energy sources that generate electricity, hydropower is the most often used. It accounted for 6 percent of total U.S. electricity generation and 71 percent of generation from renewables in 2007. Hydro Power energy is very effective and the most useful energy powerd reasource in the the world.
