The illustration shows the process of the production of electric energy with the use of water current which passes through the power generator for home use. The process is fundamentally the course of water from one reservoir to another, which produces electricity along the way and eventually sending to the national grid.
Initially, the water from the river enters the primary reservoir, the dam. In the daytime, the dam is opened and the stored water flows into the narrower waterway with speed. Then, this speed produces energy to run the turbines which are connected to the generators in the power station. The electric current produced moves along the power cables of the national grid. Thereafter, the residue water leaves the turbines and is collected in the secondary reservoir; after which, this water stays there till the nighttime.
Subsequently, when the nighttime falls, the accumulated water for whole daytime is pumped up to the dam to recycle. Unlike the day time, the water flows backward but no electricity is produced as the water flows slower. After all, the turbines are reversible to pump water up to the higher part of the power station. Later on, the intake is closed so as to prevent water from flowing back to the lower reservoir. Eventually, the operation of generating water is completed and the whole process start over again.
