A dam is a wall that holds back water on one side. Such a dam can be made to release this water though a pipe into which a propeller is fitted. As the water flows down the pipe, this spins the propeller, which in turn spins a dynamo that generates electricity. As the source of electricity is water power, the term used is "hydro electric power" - "hydro" refers to water.
