With a population of approximately 6.9 million people, Hong Kong's potential Hydroelectric power capabilities come out to be too insignificant to even consider, being about 0 kWh/day. This number is derived by taking into consideration the average rainfall in Hong Kong of 2382.7 mm per year. This along with the density of water (1000kg/m^3), and the strength of gravity being 9.81 m/s. The average altitude above sea level across Hong Kong is only 33 m. With such a large population, and such a small elevation, Hydroelectric power becomes an unfeasible solution.
