Potential Energy
Hydro energy
It is formed by the turbines in the dam that lets water flow.Hydroelectric power is created by flowing water. As the water flows, it powers machines that are able to generate electricity.
You dam rivers.(not dam in a bad way:D)
The potential energy in this system is the column of water stored behind the dam. This water has the potential to have its energy turned into electric power.
