How does it work?
It uses a turbine to generate electricity, using the falling water to turn the blades. The blades spin a generator that creates electrical energy. 
Some hydroelectric power plants have what’s known as ‘pumped storage’. This means at night, when demand for electricity is low, water is pumped back up into the dam so it can be released again the next day when electricity demand is higher.

There are 109 different hydroelectric dams spread around the UK. ]]> 2018-02-22 14:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234213180 https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234220660 Hydroelectricityis electricity produced from hydropower. In 2015 hydropower generated 16.6% of the world's total electricity and 70% of all renewable electricity, and was expected to increase about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years. ]]> 2018-02-22 14:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234220660 https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234220745 2018-02-22 14:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234220745 Mr Harris Says... o_harris https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234222238
A decent start, good range of information: 

try and find more images / diagrams to add appeal. 
Also, explain how moving water allows kinetic energy to be converted to electrical energy. ]]> 2018-02-22 14:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234222238 https://padlet.com/o_harris/fnhpiiltzwuz/wish/234226292
