There are many alternatives depending on where you live:

Coal: Coal is burned to produce heat which generates steam which powers a turbine which powers a generator. The generator creates a voltage and a current, and Transformers turn that into high voltage power for transmission along power lines. Then, more transformers step the voltage down for use in your home.

Solar: Solar cells absorb light and generate an electrical current, which is transferred to the consumer.

Hydro: Water flowing through the dam turns turbine that are connected to generators that create power for the community.

Tidal: As sea water runs in and out of a shallow bay, the motion of the water is harnessed by turbines to generate power.

Nuclear: As nuclear rods decay in carefully controlled conditions, they heat up water that becomes steam and powers steam turbines.

Magic: A kind wizard waves a wand and provides free, limitless power for everybody.

note: The last one hasn't gotten past the theoretical/experimental phase yet.

How can electrical energy be generated by using the kinetic energy of falling water?

Electrical energy can be generated from falling water by using a hydroelectric power plant. The potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy as it falls, which turns a turbine connected to a generator. The generator then converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy.

How does the electrical energy coming from the power plant reachest the customer?

The electrical energy generated at the generating station reaches the consumer through the transmission and distribution systems. The transmission system generally consists of overhead transmission lines, towers, safety equipment and transformers and is used to transmit the generated electricity to the load centres (i.e. places where electrical energy is consumed). This energy is then distributed to various consumers using the distribution system - which consists of underground cables, overhead lines, transformers, safety equipment etc etc...
