Usually you would use the water's potential energy - the fact that the water is at a certain height, and can provide energy by falling down. It need not be water - it just so happens that (1) in some places there are large amounts of water available that has potential energy (as in a lake in the mountains); and (2) it is relatively easy to convert that potential energy to other types of energy.
What else can I help you with?
What supplies the energy that provides the water cycle?
The sun
Does the sun or ocean supply the energy to the water Cycle?
Sun supplies energy. It initiates the first step of water cycle.
Why water energy is best energy?
Best for what? Not powering cars. The advantages of "water energy" is that nature supplies it "free" (as a result of sunlight and the hydrological cycle) and that its "renewable". As long as the sun shines.
Does the oceans drive the water cycle supply?
Yes oceans drive water cycle supply. Water is evaporated from oceans.
What provides you with energy?
Glucose supplies energy to the body. Wind, Solar, Water. Nuclear, and coal/petroleum products provide energy to homes and businesses. Electric and gasoline provide energy for vehicles.
What supplies the energy that drives the energy cycle?
Energy from the sun
Where can you obtain energy?
From geothermal energy supplies or from the sun
How can fresh water supplies be cleaned?
Fresh water supplies can be cleaned up by the water cycle
What does the sun supply to a leaf?
The sun supplies light energy to a leaf through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is used by the leaf to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which provides the plant with food and energy for growth.
How can fresh water supplies be cleaned up?
Fresh water supplies can be cleaned up by the water cycle
What supplies the energy in water cycle?
The sun. The sun's energy comes in the form of heat. This begins the cycle with evaporation.
What nutrients supplies your body with energy?
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins yield the energy the body needs to fuel its various activities. Vitamins, minerals and water do NOT yield energy, but perform other tasks such as maintenance and repair.
