Water Power
What:
Water contains two kinds of energy, kinetic and potential energy. The first, kinetic energy, isenergy that is created by the movement of the water. Potential energy is energy that is stored but not used in the water. This energy can become useful when water starts to flow. It will be transferred to kinetic energy and this will cause movement. When water flows or falls, energy can be generated. The generation of energy through water is usually carried out in large water power plants, with a number of process steps and the use of several devices, such as turbines and generators. The energy in water can be used to produce electricity.
