Summary

For thousands of years, humans have used the power of water to do work for them. At first, it was very simple, then it gradually evolved to more complex and more efficient devices to harness the power of water. Eventually, we were able to harness some of the world’s largest rivers to produce incredible amounts of power for millions of people. Despite the advanced hydropower systems that exist today, there are still small-scale uses available as well. Learn more about how humanity has harnessed the power of water on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
