If you've ever stood in a fast–moving stream, under a waterfall, or on the ocean shore as waves come crashing in, then you've felt the power of the water. The energy from moving water can be used to create electricity in several different ways. For example:
A hydroelectric dam captures energy from the movement of a river. Dam operators control the flow of water and the amount of electricity produced. Dams create reservoirs (large bodies of calm water) behind them, which can be used for recreation, wildlife sanctuaries, and sources of drinking water.
Wave power captures energy from waves on the surface of the ocean using a special buoy or other floating device.
Tidal power captures the energy of flowing waters with the help of turbines as tides rush in and out of coastal areas.
