When a dam is to be built, a diversion tunnel is usually bored through solid rock next to the dam site to bypass the dam construction site. The dam is built while the river flows through the diversion tunnel.

What is adit in dam?
An adit is a horizontal tunnel used in mining. They're not directly related to dams but in the construction of Hoover Dam a number of adits were used to facilitate the construction of the various tunnels associated with the dam. For example, adits were cut into the center of the canyon for the diversion tunnels allowing the tunnels to be cut faster; instead of just two work faces (upstream and downstream) an adit was cut and work started in the middle. That allowed four working faces on each tunnel: upstream portal, adit to upstream portal, adit to downstream portal, downstream portal.

What is lake tapping?
A lake tap involves excavating a tunnel almost to the water/rock contact and then blasting out the final protective rock to allow water to suddenly inflow into the tunnel from the lake. The first lake tapping was carried out at Koyna dam 13 years ago. For the second lake tapping, an additional tunnel, 4 km long, had been excavated, approximately 40 m below the surface of the lake. This tunnel is expected to carry water with a tremendous force and run turbines to generate 1,000 MW power. The water from the dam is released in Kolkewadi dam.
Is there a dam on Jordan River in Jordan?
The word "Jordan" means "the river that rushes down." And between Mount Hermon and the sea of Galilee that's exactly what it does! The Jordan River in Israel has no dam as there is not enough water that flows through it to turn enough turbines to make the enterprise worth doing. There is a dam on the Jordan River in British Columbia, Canada (which is an entirely different river). That dam is called the Jordan River Diversion Dam.
How do tunnels in dams produce electricity?
The tunnels in the dam (what you see on the "low side" of the dam) dont produce electricity. These are the 'outflow' channels for water that is exiting a turbine (which is what generates the electricity). The weight of water behind the dam forces it down a tunnel to a turbine where the water pressure spins the turbine, which generates electricity. The water, once it passes through the generator, goes out a tunnel to a river below the dam. This is typically the water you see coming out from under a "hydro-electric" dam. There are also spillways to let excess water out from the reservoir (high side) behind the dam if the water gets too high.
