Episode 0 – Discovering Hot Water: Hydropower in History

Before massive dams and high-tech turbines, hydropower was already shaping human history.

In this opening Episode 0 of the Di-Hydro Podcast Series, we travel back in time to explore how moving water became one of humanity’s first sources of energy, from ancient water wheels in Greece and China, through medieval mills, to the birth of modern hydroelectric power in the late 19th century.

Along the way, we uncover surprising milestones, including inventions that are still in use today, and reflect on why hydropower has been a story of innovation and adaptation.

This episode sets the stage for the series: in the next episodes, we’ll move from the past to the present, exploring how digital technologies are now transforming hydropower for a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
