potential energy
You can put energy where it can be recovered. Charge a battery. Fill a hot-water bottle. Fill a gas canister with compressed gas, or a combustible gas. Climb a high building, or a children's slide.
The energy stored in water behind a dam is gravitational potential energy. This energy is harnessed and converted into electrical energy through the process of hydropower generation.
Electrical energy can be stored in batteries. Water energy can be stored behind dams.
No, water running from a tap is kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy is the stored energy that an object has due to its position or state, such as water stored behind a dam.
Energy in a water circuit is typically stored in the form of potential energy, such as in a raised water reservoir or in the pressure within pipes or tanks. When water is allowed to flow downhill or through turbines, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy or mechanical energy that can be used to do work, such as generating electricity.

Energy in a water circuit is typically stored in the form of potential energy, such as in a raised water reservoir or in the pressure within pipes or tanks. When water is allowed to flow downhill or through turbines, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy or mechanical energy that can be used to do work, such as generating electricity.
Water stores energy in several forms, such as potential energy in the form of water stored behind a dam in a reservoir, kinetic energy in the movement of water in rivers or oceans, and thermal energy in the temperature difference between water masses. This stored energy can be harnessed for various purposes, such as hydropower generation or heating systems.
With clean water energy is stored but dirty water keeps energy but loses it in the end
The energy stored in water at the reservoir is gravitational potential energy due to its height above the turbine. As the water flows through the penstock and turbine, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and then ultimately into mechanical energy to turn the turbine and generate electricity. So, the type of energy changes as the water moves through the components of a hydropower system.
