Earlier, the windmills were used to harness wind energy to do mechanical work such as lifting/drawing water from a well. Today, windmills are used to generate electricity.In windmills, the kinetic energy of wind is harnessed and converted into electricity.
Water energy which was used for transportation before is now a good source to generate electricity. Dams has been constructed on river for generating electricity. Waterfalls were used as a source of potential energy which was converted to electricity with the help of turbines.

traditionally waterfalls are used by when the the water falls on the blades of the turbine where the rotatory motion of the blades of the turbine helps to generate electricity. somewhere waterfalls are then made into dams where farmers can use water for irrigation. and nowadays hydro electric power stations is used harness potential energy.
