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

The diagram depicts the way in which

electricity

is produced by a hydroelectric power station.

Overall

, there are various stages for the generation of

electricity

in a hydroelectric power station that

last

24 hours.

Initially

, river

water

enters into a high-level

reservoir

behind a

dam

. After that, the

water

reservoir

is discharged through the

dam

gates during the day.

Following

this

,

water

flows to a generator that has been constructed

at the end

of the canal. In the generator,

water

rotates a reversible turbine that leads to

electricity

generation.

Then

, power lines assist in

electricity

distribution nationwide.

This

way, people can have easy access to the constant flow of

electricity

. In the subsequent stage,

water

flows to a low-level

reservoir

. During the night, the reversible turbine in the generator pumps

water

into the high-level

reservoir

behind the

dam

. The

dam

gates should be closed during the night. The day after,

this

cycle will be repeated to produce the needed amount of

electricity

for citizens.
