Hydroelectric power is produced when water is dammed or concentrated to one point: turbines. The turbines spin as the rushing water speeds down the pipes or dam. As the turbines spin, they also turn a generator which needs movement to provide energy. The electricity produced by a generator is then transfered to power lines which carry electricity for hundreds of miles.
