A hydrodam works by harnessing the potential energy of flowing or falling water. It consists of a dam that blocks the flow of water, creating a reservoir behind it. As the water is released from the reservoir, it flows through openings or penstocks, which drives turbines. The turbines are connected to generators, which produce electricity from the rotational energy of the turbines.
