Yes hydro power is a renewable resource. Renewable means it will still be there tomorrow, even if we have used as much of it as we can today. So long as the rain keeps falling and rivers keep running, then hydro-electricity will be renewable.

Hydro power means generating electricity from the moving power of water. This is done by building dams with turbines inside them, or by putting turbines into rivers, like the old water mills.

There are also barrage dams across estuaries and inlets which capture tidal water and use that. Machines that capture the movement of ocean waves are also part of the hydro electrical system.
not compleetly in your text books it may say that hydro electricity is non renewable but heres a theory when you use hydroelectricity you are using water thus the only residue that is left is water vapor when water vapor evaporates it forms clouds then it rains into our lakes and oceans thus more water is then more water is at our disposal* *THE WATER CYCLE
yes because it gives us power yes baby why do u guys care
Hydro power (the water behind dams) is renewable so long as the rain continues to fall in the dam's catchment area.

Why is hydro energy not non-renewable?

A non-renewable resource is one that is used up, that cannot be reused. A renewable resource is regularly replenished or can be reused. Hydro power (renewable) comes from water circulated in the water cycle, and so is continuously replenished by natural processes.

Is hydro power renewable energy source?

yes, hydro-power is considered a renewable energy source because it is easily gained and easily "re-made". Other Examples of this is biomass, geothermal energy and windpower. non-renewable energy is considered anything that takes a LONG time to make, like millions and billions of years! an example is oil, coal or natural gas.

Rainfall captured behind a dam can be used by a hydro-electric power station to generate electricity. France has many hydro schemes running already.


What type of energy has hydro power?

Hydro power has potential gravitational energy. Gravity will move the water. Moving water has kinetic energy.It is also renewable energy.
