A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity from water!

Firstly you build a dam to block the river.Water then builds up behind the dam.This is called the reservoir.

Water then goes through the intake and it goes through the penstock.
Then next it goes to the turbine and the turbine spines fast.  Then it goes through the generator.

Then the power lines take’s the electricity to our houses.

Hydropower is great because it is renewable.
