Tides and waves are naturally powerful, but how is it possible to convert that power into usable energy? Dams, pumps, and generators are just some of the ways scientists have found to capture the energy of water. This educational book explains how water can generate energy and could become a viable alternative to fossil fuels. With helpful photographs and informational diagrams, the science of water power is made accessible to young readers.
