CHAPTER:1 INTRODUCTION

The waters of lakes, reservoirs located at high

elevation and water flowing in a river all provide
potential energy or kinetic energy.
 The energy produced by water is termed water power.
Power generation methods which produce electric
energy by using water power are called hydropower
generation.
Hydropower generation is renewable energy utilizing
the phenomenon of water cycle.
