(Look for the dots in blue)

1. Water flowing through the dams spin turbine blades (made out of metal). 2. Turbine is connected to generators. 3. Power is produced and is sent to homes and businesses.

AdvantagesDisadvantages Fuel is not burned so there is minimal pollution High investment costs Water to run the power plant is provided free by nature Hydrology dependent (precipitation) Relatively low operations and maintenance costs Changes in river flow and water temperature The technology is reliable and proven over time In some cases, changes in reservoir and stream water quality It's renewable - rainfall renews the water in the reservoir, so the fuel is almost always there In some cases, inundation of land and wildlife habitat
