The movement of water which is kinetic energy is converted into some useful mechanical energy. This mechanical energy of turbines is then converted by generators into electrical energy. The average volume of water and the height to which the water is thrown (head height) determine the amount of electrical energy produced. The hydro energy was used only for irrigation of land in the past but now they can be used to produce electricity on a very large scale.
