Answer:

hydroelectric power

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydroelectric energy is the form of obtaining electrical energy through the force and movement of water (potential energy or hydraulic energy). Considered the second largest source of electricity in the world, it is produced by harnessing the hydraulic potential, ie, the force of water is used to generate energy.

This power generation is only possible through the construction of hydroelectric plants in rivers that have a large volume of water and have unevenness in its course. They transform the power of water into electricity and supply it to the population.
