Most hydroelectric power plants use dams to create a reservoir that stores water, allowing for controlled release to generate electricity. The dam increases water pressure and flow, which enhances the efficiency of turbines that convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Additionally, reservoirs help manage water supply for various uses, including irrigation and flood control, while providing a stable energy source.

What are the good and bad effects of building dams to run hydroeletric power plants?
Dams in general cutoff the free flow of water and instead store it so it can be allowed to flow as needed. Some fish species navigate and make use of rivers and streams and go there to spawn. A dam either cuts off or impairs the path on the original waterway, so fewer fish can go upstream to spawn.
Why do most hydroelectric power plants usually have dams?
because water flows through a dam
