GPT-5 mini
Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.
Explanation: Water stored at the reservoir (top) has maximum gravitational potential energy; as it falls, that potential is converted to kinetic energy, which is highest near the bottom where the water is moving fastest.
