Electricity in the Andes

hydropower project, it is called "the Three Gorges Project".

Water is led in through a tunnel which can be closed if they do not need electricity. At the end of the tunnel there is a turbine, the water comes so fast that it causes the turbines to rotate. When the turbine rotates, it makes power inside a generator. The generator then carries the power on to the residents.

If one wants to do a hydropower project at a waterfall, mak could do something in the style like they did china. One can put a container under the waterfall, when they are then filled up it is led through a tunnel down to a turbine. The turbine then turns around and makes electricity up in the generator, just like the hydropower project in China.
