hydroelectric stations
Hydroelectric stations generate electricity by converting the energy of flowing or falling water into electrical power. Water from a reservoir or river is directed through turbines, causing them to spin. These turbines are connected to generators, which produce electricity as they turn. The process relies on the Earth's water cycle—the movement of water from high to low areas—making hydroelectric power a renewable, clean energy source. It’s a widely used method because it efficiently produces large amounts of electricity without emitting greenhouse gases.
