Solution

Water has two types of energy.

  1. Kinetic energy is the initial type of energy. This is the energy that is used to carry out processes like movement. Water may flow and waves can exist because of kinetic energy.
  2. Potential energy is the amount of energy stored when the water starts to flow this energy can be put to good use. It will be converted into kinetic energy, which will result in movement. it is obvious that moving water has kinetic energy.

Hence, Flowing water possesses Kinetic energy.
