For static purposes, this is not a difficult task, for the equations relating the model to the full sized dam are linear.
However, when dynamic behaviour is considered, then the relationship between model and full-size is not linear. Effects such as fluid flow - water hammer, and fluid oscillation must all be carefully understood.
But maybe you just want to make a model of a Beaver dam!

How do you build a hydro dam?
Very carefully More seriously, there are two main types of hydrolectric installations: Impoundment, and run-of-river (there's also electricity generation from the tides, waves, etc, but we'll leave those aside for now). The impoundment types are probably what you're thinking of when you say 'hydro dam'. These are large dams which create a reservoir upstream. The water in the reservoir is then forced to flow through penstocks within the dam which direct the flow to where it can power turbines which are in turn used to generate electrcity. The dams themselves are usually concrete, while the turbines are usually metal. The run-of-river type involves diverting water from a river and once again using it to turn turbines. The turbines are again usually metal. They can be housed in a building made of just about any material, and some of the older ones are quite pretty stone buildings etc.
What does it cost to get hydroelectric energy?
In simplest terms, although running water is free, harnessing it is an expensive proposition.To effectively harness water, you must first confine and direct it, usually by means of a dam. Since dams can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, this is a very expensive proposition.The Hoover dam (known initially as the Boulder dam) cost $49,000,000, and that was in 1936 dollars, when a new car cost less than $600!Dam-building is also a very dangerous venture, which further drives up the cost; the Hoover dam mentioned above cost almost 100 lives.
