Hydro Power Explanation

WALT write an explanation including a definition, description and conclusion

A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity from water!

Firstly you build a dam to block the river. Water then builds up behind the dam. This is called the reservoir.

Water then goes through the intakes and then the water goes through the penstock and the water goes through the turbine.

Then the water comes and the turbine spins and makes electricity in the generator. Then electricity goes into the power line and goes to the long distance power lines and then into peoples houses.  The rest of the water goes back into the river.

Hydropower is good because it is renewable and it won't run out.
