How is hydropower produced?

Hydropower usually starts with a water magazine, a dam. A controlled amount of water is led away from the dam, and on to a water wheel, also called a turbine. The force of the running water gets the turbine spinning. The turbine is hooked up to an electrical generator which produces electricity as it turns. The electricity is then fed into the electrical grid and makes its ways out to homes and industries.
