Same as any generator pretty much. Something turns the turbine, which is pretty much a fuck off dynamo. In this case it’s the water. Think of the mind-mill things you see in the water- the river pushes it around and around.

Same as a large one, but on a smaller scale.
You still need moving or falling water as a source of mechanical energy
to drive your generator.
For a small residential sized installation it would probably make sense to generate D.C. at a constant low level and store it in a battery inverter
system to handle the variable loads that such an application demands,
rather than build a big plant capable of handling the peak draws which
would be idling most of the time.
