By using hydro powered stations that can turn water into energy to power your house. It also is harnessed by water turbines to filter the unwanted in the water.
The idea is to harness the potential energy of the water, when it is at a certain height. The water has to be made to go down, to harness this energy.
The water wheel. :)
running water turns a turbine
Harness of water hasn't influence on the odor.
yes, water is heated by earth's interior and converted to steam
Building of dams to harness water energy destroys habitat for many species, including endangered species.
No Rain water is very soft. The harness of water is a result of the mineral content and rain water has a very low mineral content as it hits the ground or water on the ground.
Sun radiation makes sea water hot, which then evaporates and becomes clouds, some clouds go over land and condense producing rain thus producing rivers which we harness using electric generators.
Yes, and No. In the past a number of ways to harness the power of water have been used. Time will tell if they can be used in the future.
The waterwheel and the turbine have been very useful in harnessing the power of moving water.
Early agrarian societies such as the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, and Indus Valley civilization learned to harness water with irrigation systems such as canals, dikes, and dams. These systems allowed them to control water flow, store water for periods of drought, and ensure consistent crop irrigation, leading to increased agricultural productivity.
It is usually from large rivers, dams or waterfalls like Niagara falls. They harness the energy of the moving water to turn the turbines that drive the generators. Like a hose pointed at a pinwheel/fan.
