Hydraulic means the involvement of the pressure of water or some other fluids that is operated or moved. Hydraulics is the branch of science and technology concerned with the practical applications, such as the transmission of energy or effects of flow of fluids through pipes and channels, especially with a source of mechanical force or control.
Reference Definition by Wikipedia: Hydraulics is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids or fluids. At a very basic level, hydraulics is the liquid version of pneumatics. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the applied engineering using the properties of fluids. In fluid power, hydraulics is used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by the use of pressurized liquids.
