COMMENTARY     

Professor
9th December 2004
Hydroelectricity is a clean, renewable and reliable energy source that serves national environmental and energy policy objectives. Hydropower converts kinetic energy from falling water into electricity without consuming more water than is produced by nature.
A basic hydroelectric dam works by holding back water, creating a reservoir of potential power. On the upper side of the dam, a water gate is opened to let water surge through a tunnel leading to turbines. The water turns the turbines which in turn spin the generators to generate electricity. The electricity is carried through cables to wherever it is needed.
