This energy source is renewable, because it is made by the power in moving water. For an example, water is stopped by a dam and when the dam is released, the water spins a turbine converting kinetic energy into electric energy. . H. ydroelectric . P. ower . W. ork?. Hydropower - Hydroelectric Power. Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. The most common type of hydroelectric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir.. Tomas . L. eiva. Mathieu Maldemay. Marc-Olivier . C. hoquette. H. istory. In India, water wheels and watermills were built; in Imperial Rome, water powered mills produced flour from grain, and were also used for sawing timber and stone; in China, watermills were widely used since the Han Dynasty. In China and the rest of the Far East, hydraulically operated "pot wheel" pumps raised water into irrigation canals. In 1753, French engineer Bernard Forest de . . - I can locate the Three Gorges dam with place names – Level 4. . - I can explain why the government built the Three Gorges Dam – Level 5 . - I can evaluate whether the Dam is sustainable in developing China and its people – Level 6/7.
