Water flows into chambers in the water wheel... that weight causes the wheel to turn, and the wheel is connected to whatever mechanical device it operates...or, for the ones where water doesn't flow over the top of it, the current of the water presses against the paddles to create movement... it's pretty much the exact same way a hydraulic motor works.
