Talk:Lishui, Zhejiang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under 'Energy Production' section.
Should "With 600 hydraulic power stations in use and 500 more still .........." be "With 600 hydroelectric power stations in use and 500 more still ....."?
A hydraulic power station supplies pressurised water that is used directly to operate machinery, while a hydroelectric power station uses the water pressure to generate electricity which is then distributed to operate machinery etc.
So it is possible that the sentence is correct as written, but unlikely. Any comments?
