Does energy come from water

Water from various sources like snow melt and rain flows downhill to eventually pour into the ocean. During the downhill flow, the water hits a dam and cannot flow any farther until it is deep enough to reach the dam's spillways. Meanwhile, a large amount of that water behind the dam flows down deep into the base of the dam where it fed by huge pipes into electrical turbines. That water then flows into the river that comes over and through the dam.

Meanwhile, the electricity that is generated by those turbines is fed at high voltage into huge powerlines that take the electricity to where it is needed.

Where does the energy for rivers come from?

The energy for rivers primarily comes from gravity. Water flows downhill due to gravity, creating the kinetic energy that moves the water downstream. Additionally, sunlight provides energy for the water cycle which drives the movement of water in rivers.
