A hydroelectric dam is essentially a mechanical gateway that can control how often, how much, and how fast the water is allowed to passed through. Water above the dam is collected and stored into a reservoir.
Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity, a dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. The word dam can be traced back to Middle English, and before that, from Middle Dutch, the first known appearance of dam occurs in 1165.
