Water & Power
Reservoir & Hydropower Interactive
Take control of a three-tier reservoir system and try to keep the town supplied with power. Built for a visitor centre in Wales, this hands-on exhibit turns water storage and energy management into a practical challenge.
The visitor steps up to the control station and manages how water is stored and moved between three reservoir levels. The model links those decisions to the task of maintaining power for the town, giving a clear purpose to each adjustment.
The illustrated landscape, control panel and illuminated feedback bring different parts of the system together in one display. This approach to visitor centre interpretation gives people something to operate while they explore the relationship between stored water, flow and power generation.

This reservoir and hydropower model gives visitors a small system to investigate as a whole. Water storage, movement and the town’s power supply are presented together, so the challenge is about balancing connected decisions rather than operating an isolated control. Visitors can compare their choices with the illuminated feedback and consider what they would change next time. For a visitor centre, that creates a useful starting point for conversations about how stored water supports electricity generation and why managing supply matters.
Reservoir model with its illuminated town and control panel. This hands-on hydropower exhibit connects visitor decisions with the town’s electricity supply, using illuminated feedback to explain water and energy management.
The completed exhibit installed in the visitor centre. Built for a visitor centre in Wales, the bespoke reservoir display brings landscape modelling, physical controls and environmental interpretation into one activity.
Three reservoir levels set into the illustrated landscape. The tiered model helps visitors follow the relationship between stored water and flow, providing a practical introduction to hydroelectric power generation.
