Water can supply electricity in usually one reason - the water wheel, or it's close cousins. The water pushes on the wheel, and turns the water wheel. As the wheel spins, it creates mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is fed through a converter, which turns it into useable electricity. It is the same concept as wind with a wind turbine.
