Civil works create a flow of water at pressure. This is converted to mechanical power by a turbine of appropriate type. The mechanical power is then converted to electrical power by an alternator. This then goes into the transmission network. Nowadays the biggest challenge to new hydropower is environmental constraints. There isn’t really much more to it.

The water evaporates, then forms a cloud. It then rains in the area, which supplies the upper part of the dam with water. Hope that answers your question :) The hydrologic cycle.

The lake at the bottom must be huge. Thanks. I didnt think that process would be fast enough to allow a continuous flow. The lake at the bottom must be huge.

Hydro power plants such as this one are not bad for the climate at all... its totally safe. Are you nuts? Hydro power plants such as this one are not bad for the climate at all… its totally safe.
