What to Know About Water Power
Water power is also known as hydro-power. It is generated into hydro-electricity which is used to
power our everyday technology uses. This could be things such as stoves or ovens, computers or
TV's. Examples of water power are places like the Hoover Dam or the Three Gorges Dam. On our
website, we have information about water mills and dams.

made a water wheel which gets water from a river
and runs it through the wheel and then is
generated.

Dams
This is a dam which is different
from a water wheel because it
stops most of the water flow of a
river, takes it in, generates it to
electricity.
