Hydraulic - hydroelectric energy
Hydrological energy or hydraulic energy is a renewable energy source that is obtained from freshwater streams. It is possible to take advantage of the mechanical energy of the movement of water on horizontal currents, or waterfalls. The movement of water moves the blades of a mill wheel or a turbine. This mechanical energy can be transmitted through mechanisms and be used directly, or it can also be used to produce hydroelectric energy, which is electrical energy (electricity) obtained from the mechanical energy of water.
