Water | 20 mai 2007



We have used running water as an energy source for thousands of years, mainly to grind corn.

The first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity was Cragside House, in Northumberland, England, in 1878. In 1882 on the Fox river, in the USA, hydroelectricity produced enough power to light two paper mills and a house.

Nowadays there are many hydro-electric power stations, providing around 20% of the world's electricity. The name comes from "hydro", the Greek word for water.
