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.
How Hydropower Works. Hydropower is using water to power machinery or make electricity. Water constantly moves through a vast global cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans, forming clouds, precipitating as rain or snow, then flowing back down to the ocean.urbines and generators convert the energy into electricity, which is then fed into the electrical grid to be used in homes, businesses, and by industry. To see a close up view of how the generator of a water turbine works, see the Hydropower Basics page.
