    HOW TO USE WATER ENERGY

    HOW ENERGY IS PRODUCED


    FLOWING WATER TURNS A WATER WHEEL OR
    TUREBINE
    A GENERATOR ATTACHED TO THE WATER WHEEL
    PRODUCES ELECTRICITY

    WHAT IS HYDRO ENERGY


    HYDRO ENERGY IS ELECTRICITY PRODUCED BY FLOWING WATER. TO
    PRODUCE HYDROELECTRIC POWER, HUMANS BUILD A DAM ACROSS A
    POWERFUL RIVER, SUCH AS THE HOOVER DAM. THE HOOVER DAM IS A
    CONCRETE ARCH-GRAVITY DAM ON THE BORDER BETWEEN ARIZONA AND
    NEVADA. COASTAL AREAS THAT HAVE GREAT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HIGH
    AND LOW TIDES CAN BE A SOURCE OF TIDAL POWER.

    DESCRIPTION OF HOW WATER ENERGY


    WORKS
    A BODY OF FLOWING WATER

    2. WATER FLOWS THROUGH TUBES


    3. FAST FLOWING WATER TURNS TURBINES
    4. TURBINES CONNECT TO THE GENERATOR
    5. GENERATORS PRODUCE ELECTRIC ENERGY
    6. SENDS THE ENERGY TO OUR HOMES

    PROS OF WATER ENERGY

    RENEWABLE RESOURCE
    EACH STATE COULD PRODUCE THEIR OWN ENERGY WITH FLOWING WATER
    NO AIR OR WATER POLLUTION
    NO GREENHOUSE GASES LIKE CARBON DIOXIDE ARE PRODUCED
    WATER ENERGY DOESNT USE ANY FOSSIL FUELS

    CONS OF WATER
    ENERGY
    THE MAJOR DISTURBANCE OF DAMMING A RIVER CAUSES TO THE
    SURROUNDING PEOPLE , ANIMALS AND HABITAT
    DAMS AND HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS TAKE MANY YEARS TO BUILD
    AND ARE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE, ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE ONLY MINIMAL
    COSTS ONCE COMPLETED

    WHERE DO YOU USE WATER ENERGY


    HYDROELECTRIC STATIONS EXIST IN 34 US STATES SUCH AS
    COLUMBIA RIVER LARGEST IN US
    TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
    HOOVER DAM
    GRAND COULEE DAM
