How can hydro energy be transported?

Question by : How can hydro energy be transported?
I’m doing a project for school, and I need to find out how hydro energy can be transported. I’m guessing by pipes, but I still need to know for sure. Thanks for the help! Also, links would be great. I need to be able to site my resources, and it’s always good to know where the information came from. THANK YOU!!!
