La confluencia entre el agua y la energía está en constante evolución. A la forma más tradicional de aprovechamiento de ambos recursos, la hidroelectricidad, que utiliza la energía cinética del agua para generar electricidad, se han ido sumando otras tecnologías innovadoras, como la mareomotriz, basada en las mareas, o la undimotriz, que captura la energía de las olas. España, con su extensa costa y un gran potencial en energías renovables, está dando pasos importantes también en este terreno.
