Hydropower is energy collected from the tidal flow of water. As tides go in and out, they spin a turbine, which converts the energy of motion into electricity.

Hydropower is energy required to move water. The amount of power needed increases with the height that the water is being moved up to. The higher the water has to pumped, the more hydropower is needed.
