A hydroelectric dam is essentially a mechanical gateway that can control how often, how much, and how fast the water is allowed to passed through. Water above the dam is collected and stored into a reservoir.
To increase the volume of moving water, impoundments or dams are used to collect the water. An opening in the dam uses gravity to drop water down a pipe called a penstock. The moving water causes the turbine to spin, which causes magnets inside a generator to rotate and create electricity. There are a variety of types of turbines used at hydropower facilities, and their use depends on the amount of hydraulic head (vertical distance between the dam and the turbine) at the plant.
