How do you harvest hydropower?

Answer 1

Hydropower is harvested by converting the energy of flowing or falling water into electricity. This is typically done using a dam that creates a reservoir, where water is released through turbines, which spin and generate electricity as the water flows. In run-of-the-river systems, water is diverted from a river without a large dam, using a smaller setup to generate power. The generated electricity is then transmitted to the grid for consumption.
