Electricity generated from water trapped behind a dam is produced through hydroelectric power. When water is released from the reservoir, it flows through turbines, causing them to spin. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by generators. The process is renewable and relies on the gravitational potential energy of the stored water.

How do tunnels in dams produce electricity?

The tunnels in the dam (what you see on the "low side" of the dam) dont produce electricity. These are the 'outflow' channels for water that is exiting a turbine (which is what generates the electricity). The weight of water behind the dam forces it down a tunnel to a turbine where the water pressure spins the turbine, which generates electricity. The water, once it passes through the generator, goes out a tunnel to a river below the dam. This is typically the water you see coming out from under a "hydro-electric" dam. There are also spillways to let excess water out from the reservoir (high side) behind the dam if the water gets too high.
