                                                        Uses water to create energy

From a lake or some body of water, through the intake gate, water flows in. The water gains kinetic energy as it flows through the penstock. The rushing water spins a turbine, and then it flows into the river. The spinning turbine activates a generator, and the generator makes electric power. It is used to bring high amounts of power to cities.

• Advantages: It causes no pollution and it is easy to find a body of water.
• Disadvantages: Making uses fossil fuels and  you have to modify the land a lot.
