Water is stored in a lake or a reservoir at a height behind the dam. When water is allowed to fall from the height , it gains kinetic energy due to motion. Kinetic energy of the moving water flowing through the tunnels is used to turn the blades of turbines. These are attached to the lower end of the axil of the electric generator.
