    Hydroelectric powerplants harness the kinetic energy of flowing water through large dams and reservoirs to power water turbines that generate electricity. Modern hydro plants have massive dams over 100 meters high that create huge man-made lakes to store water. This potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy as the water flows through turbines sometimes weighing hundreds of tons to spin generators and produce electricity. The Angat Dam in the Philippines supplies water to Manila and powers a hydroelectric plant through its water turbines that convert the energy of the flowing water into mechanical work to generate power.

    Hydroelectric Powerplants
     Hydroelectricity is 
    electricity produced from hydropower

     Hydropower is produced in 150


    countries, with the Asia-Pacific region
    generating 33 percent of global
    hydropower in 2013
     Anyone who has ever seen a large waterfall
    understands the enormous amount of energy
    present in rushing water. Harnessing a natural
    force of this magnitude requires advanced
    engineering skill and colossal constructions.
    Modern hydro power plants have dams that may
    be over one hundred metres high, huge man-made
    lakes and turbines weighing hundreds of tonnes.
     Angat Dam is located within the Angat
    Watershed Forest Reserve in Barangay San Lorenzo
    (Hilltop), Norzagaray, Bulacan. It supplies potable water
    to Metro Manila and powers a hydro-electric power plant.
    Water Turbine
     A waterturbine is a rotary machine that
    converts kinetic energy and 
    potential energy of water into mechanical
    work.
