    The Itaipu Dam is a hydroelectric dam located on the Parana River between Brazil and Paraguay. It was constructed between 1971-1982 and is one of the largest and most productive hydroelectric dams in the world. The dam is 196 meters tall and 7,919 meters long, creating a reservoir 100 meters deep. Its 20 turbines have a total capacity of 14,000 megawatts, making it less expensive to operate than alternative power plants and avoiding millions of tons of CO2 emissions each year compared to coal plants.

    - CONTROLS FLOW OF RIVER
    2. TURBINE
    - TURBINE CONVERTS WATERS KINETIC ENERGY TO MECHANICAL FORM
    THROUGH THE ROTATION OF THE TURBINE BLADES PRODUCED FROM THE FORCE
    OF THE WATER
    3. GENERATOR
