How a hydro-dam creates electricity
WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works
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 intake, and rushes down the penstock. The water hits the turbine and spins it very fast.
This makes electricity which is stored in the generator. The electricity then travels through the power lines to houses and cities.
After the water has gone through the turbine, it rejoins the river.
You can make power in all sorts of ways but this is hydro power.
Power is very important, please save power . A hydro-dam is also called a hydro-station.
