Sure, but those are completely different approaches. Dams have the advantage that they have a much larger capture area for water and that they can accelerate the water beyond the 10 m/s terminal velocity of raindrops.

We gotta build a reservoir just below cloud level and then put turbines all the way down to sea level to harvest more of the energy
