What is the main principle of hydro electric power stations?

The potential energy of the collected water is turned into kinetic energy as the water is released downstream. As the water is released, it hits a turbine, forcing it to spin. The spinning turbine turns some of the kinetic energy of the water into electric energy, which can be transported away in cables for us humans to use.
