The diagram below shows how electricity is generated in a hydroelectric power station.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The diagram illustrates how electric
power
is produced in an electric station, powered by
water
.
Overall
, it can be seen that
this
is a cyclic man-made process, which contains
water
storage at a high level,
water
flowing downwards, necessary for electric
power
production, low-level storage and pumping
water
back up for reuse.
Firstly
, the
water
is poured from a river into a high-level reservoir, limited by a dam with an intake at the bottom. During the day, the
water
passes through it and goes downhill, reaching the reversible turbines, helping them to operate a generator in the
power
station.
Thus
electricity is generated and spread among
Power
lines and
then
reaches the National grid. The rest of the
water
is collected in low-level containers and during the night is pumped out through the turbines uphill, reaching the high-level tank once again. It is
then
ready to be involved in the process again.
