pumped from the bottom up when there is no demand for electricity. When power consumption is

M.S.Shashank
high, water from above is let down and electricity is generated by turbines. Hence it is called pumped
storage power or hydel power. One TMC water was allocated from Gorukallu Reservoir for IREEP.
