Hydro power is the record of amount of water being released and stored in dams kept.
Explanation:
Hydropower, often known as water power, is the generation of electricity or the powering of equipment using falling or fast-running water. This is accomplished by transforming a water source's gravitational potential or kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Hydropower is a form of renewable energy generation:
- When the dam's gates are opened and the water flows freely, the potential energy held in the dam is turned into kinetic energy.
- This kinetic energy is used to rotate the shaft of the genrators in hydroelectric power plants, which generates electricity.
