Detailed Solution

The type of energy in the water that is stored in a reservoir is potential energy.
The water held behind the dam has potential energy because of its position water in the reservoir is on height, and when something is at a certain height, it possesses potential energy. The potential energy stored in a reservoir at a given height can be transformed to produce kinetic energy, which is used to turn a turbine and produce electricity as the water stored in the dam flows out, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
Therefore, as the water stored in a dam's reservoir flows out, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
