water power
Mill wheel's source
Water power is the energy derived from moving or falling water, harnessed to perform work.
Historically it drove mills and machinery through waterwheels; today it primarily generates electricity through hydroelectric dams.
The factory relied on water power before converting to steam.
Also spelled as one word: waterpower.
