Hydraulics were used heavily in terraforming in the late 24th century. Arthur Malencon was a hydraulics specialist on the planet Velara III, and utilized hydraulic landscaping to create basins on the planet. (TNG: "Home Soil")

Klingon Birds-of-Prey had hydro-static systems that utilized hydraulic power.
