What is hydroelectric power plant?

Hydroelectric plant is a system with three major parts , a power plant where the electricity is produced, a dam that can be opened or closed to control water flow, and a reservoir where water is stored.

The working of hydroelectric power plant is:

At the plant level, water flows through a pipe also known as a penstock and then spins the blades in a turbine, which, in turn, spins a generator that ultimately produces electricity.

Most conventional hydroelectric facilities operate this way, including run-of-the-river systems and pumped storage systems.

In this whole process ,So much water should be used to generate electricity therefore it reduces the level of ground water.
