hydroelectric power is power created from the energy of running water. this water is usually stored and controlled by dams. its productivity changes in accordance to how much rainfall is produced annually. in 2017, california ranked second in the united states for conventional hydroelectric generation, obtaining 21% of its electricity through hydroelectric power sources. this was higher than the previous year when only 14% of its electricity was produced through hydroelectric power. a drought in 2012 led to a reduction in the generation of hydroelectric power. because of this, in 2014 the energy commission of california began to track the conditions on how the drought started. utilities responded to the decrease in precipitation and lack of hydroelectric power by making short-term market purchases and relying on other renewable sources of electricity. recovery from the drought started in late 2016, partly due to increased precipitation that restored hydroelectric power to normal conditions.
