Pronunciation: [hˌa͡ɪdɹə͡ʊlɪktɹˈɪsɪti] (IPA) 
Hydroelectricity is the harnessing of water's mechanical energy to generate electricity. It is also known as hydroelectric power, hydro power, waterpower, or hydropower. Other synonyms for hydroelectricity include hydrokinetic power, hydro turbine power, and hydromechanical power. While all of these terms refer to the same concept of generating electricity using water's energy, they differ in technicality and specificity. For instance, hydrokinetic power specifically refers to the use of free-flowing water, such as tidal or wave energy, while hydromechanical power refers to the mechanical force exerted by water to generate power. Nonetheless, all these synonyms depict the importance of harnessing water's energy to fulfill our energy needs sustainably.
