What is dam?
A dam is a big wall to stop water getting through to certain places. It is also used to irrigate water, and some dams, to make hydroelectricity. Hydroelectricity is electricity that comes from water. It is a environment friendly way of getting energy or power. Dams are, of coarse, found mostly on rivers though always on water of some kind. Some are huge and some are smaller. For example, on the Euphrates River, the Ataturk dam, it very big and is used for quite a few things. It is found in Southeastern Turkey and is the 5th biggest dam in the world.

How do tunnels in dams produce electricity?
The tunnels in the dam (what you see on the "low side" of the dam) dont produce electricity. These are the 'outflow' channels for water that is exiting a turbine (which is what generates the electricity). The weight of water behind the dam forces it down a tunnel to a turbine where the water pressure spins the turbine, which generates electricity. The water, once it passes through the generator, goes out a tunnel to a river below the dam. This is typically the water you see coming out from under a "hydro-electric" dam. There are also spillways to let excess water out from the reservoir (high side) behind the dam if the water gets too high.
