Solution

The water that runs in the road or land (any water whether it is rain water or river water or any water) possess $K I N E T I C E N E R G Y$ in it. Then when it falls into the dam the $K I N E T I C E N E R G Y$ changes into $P O T E N T I A L E N E R G Y$ . A turbine is their in the water (locted in dam) which changes the potential energy and water into hydroelectric power.
