The falling force of the water pushes the paddles, rotating a wheel. This creates a special channel known as a mill race from the pond to the waterwheel.

Explanation:

A waterwheel is a type of device that takes advantage of flowing or falling water to generate power by using a set of paddles mounted around a wheel.
