The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
What type of water is behind a dam?

What is water behind a dam?

Type of river dam used to raise the water level?

What do you call the lake that forms behind a dam?
what do you call an artificially body of water that forms behind a dam

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.
The depth of water behind the Hoover Dam in Nevada is 220 m what is the water pressue at the base of this dam?
water pressure at the base of the dam is (specific weight of water * depth)2158.2KN/m2
What is impounded surface water?
Impounded surface water is water held behind a dam in the reservoir that the structure creates behind it.
Which is an advantage of building a dam?
Building a dam results in a body of water behind the dam and an area of dry land in front of the dam. The body of water behind the dam can be seeded with fish for sports or a food source (pisciculture). The water can be used as a reservoir for drinking water or as an entertainment area. The dry area in front of the dam can be used for living space and agriculture. The dam itself can be constructed, as many dams are, to use the stored energy in the water to generate electricity.
What is the purpose of a dam and how does it affect your life?
A dam is a large piece of concrete that has water behind it that holds water for drinking and for other purposes.
