Question

I need some help with this

What advantages did steam-powered machinery have over water-powered machinery?

I only need two things I have one already just can't think of anyomore.

Answer 1

Water powered machines were heavy and bulky because they had to carry around a ton of water, while steam didn't need as much water.
Water machines had to be completely water proof, which is a lot harder than you think. If water got into any moving parts, they would rust fairly quickly.

Answer 2

thank you so much I was stuck for a minute
