Then what it does is that the water will run through the blades of the turbine that then will spin with the force transferring the energy of the water to the turbine.

The spinning turbine will then transfers the energy to coils of wire that will spin throught a magnetic field making electricity in which the generator connecting it will store it.]]> 2016-07-11 15:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116211925 darleneluvsual https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116212130 Information: http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/our-energy-choices/renewable-energy/how-hydroelectric-energy.html#.V4O8WbgrLIU

2) When energy is not being made then gates of the dam can be closed
3) Can store water to be used for irrigation
4) Produces mass amount of energy]]> 2016-07-11 15:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116212732 darleneluvsual https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116212899 1) Disrupts the ecosystem
2) If there is drought then there will be slow production of energy
3) Expensive to build
4) Changes the structure of the land]]> 2016-07-11 15:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116212899 darleneluvsual https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116213543 Only 10% of the U.S energy resource comes from hydroelectricuty]]> 2016-07-11 16:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116213543 darleneluvsual https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116213693 Darlene Ual]]> 2016-07-11 16:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/darleneluvsual/e2mqnginkcad/wish/116213693
