Hydropower is energy that comes from a turbine that produces energy from the movement of bodies of water.
There are two ways to generate hydroelectric power: dams and tidal waves.
As the water is released from the reservoir, it flows through a pipe and falls to a lower elevation, which generates kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is used to turn a turbine, which generates electricity. The electricity is then sent to a generator, where it is converted into an electrical current that can be used to power homes, businesses, and other buildings.
