Happy May the 4th! Around here, the “force” isn’t from a galaxy far, far away — it comes straight from water.
As water flows through a dam, it builds head pressure. That pressure and flow create the force that turns turbines and spins generators, producing clean, renewable hydropower for communities across the West.
Whether you’re a hydropower fan, a science fan or a Star Wars fan, remember: the force is strong with us.
May the 4th — and the force of water — be with you.
