Which definition of "hydro" do you need? Even in English this has more than one meaning.

hydro

in compound words it's usually "hydro"
hydroelektrownia - water power plant
hydrografia - hydrography
and so on.

It could also be "wodny/wodna/wodne". Hydroelektrownia = elektrownia wodna.

hydro- / wodny

If you mean a prefix, it usually should be translated just as hydro- (eg. hydrochemistry = hydrochemia)
If you mean an adjective (which is informal in English) - it rather be "wodny"
But there are more complex cases. Eg. hydrobiology would be "hydrobiologia" or "biologia wód" not "wodna biologia" etc.
