A tidal barrage (dam) generates electricity from the tides. Fig. 5.1 shows a simplified diagram of a tidal barrage (dam). The diagram includes labels for the incoming tide, high tide, water flowing in from the ocean, turbine and river; and the outgoing tide, low tide, water flowing back to the ocean.
