The electricity generation from the water is called as the hydroelectric power plant.There are certain steps that is involved in the production of electricity from water.

  • The water that is behind he dam is collected into a pipe which is known as penstock.
  • The water then is pushed against the blades of the turbine, instead of using the steam for rotating the turbine, water is used for the rotation of turbines.
  • The moving turbines converts the kinetic energy of water into the rotating energy and then it turns on a generator by the help of the turbine.
  • The electricity produced then travels over long distance to home, schools, et cetera.
