Dec 16, 2020 - How a dam generates electricity


Have you ever seen a dam in real life? Those huge structures are not only vital for our water needs in dry seasons but are also quite helpful in providing extra energy.

By repurposing rivers and lakes, they reimagine vast ecosystems. They supply millions of homes around the globe with electricity, but how do these structures provide an alternative power source to humanity? The short answer is by generating electricity from water. Acquiring dam power is simple in principle. Using the water’s kinetic energy and converting it into electricity is not something new and people have been benefiting from it since the first civilizations. They do this by using gravity to their advantage.
