The majority of the Netherlands is at or below sea level which is not ideal for hydroelectric power.
They have old water mills but these produce power on such a small scale that they are negligible.
Looking at the calculation that McKay used, if Amsterdam was chosen with 833 mm of annual rainfall & an elevation of 2m, the kWh/day per person is minimal
Even with the hydroelectric capacity insatlled in major rivers, it is still way too small to matter.
38000kW capacity Installed Hydro Capacity
38000*24hr/365day/16500000 people = 0.00015 kWh/day per person
Not impressed
