Small
Hydro Power is defined as a Hydro Energy plant producing less than
10 MW electric energy. Schemes require a suitable rainfall catchment
area, a hydraulic head, a pipe or millrace carrying water to the
turbine and a turbine house containing power generation and water
regulation equipment.
Hydro Power in general is produced from the movement of a mass of
water: streams,
rising and falling of tides through lunar (and solar) gravitation,
wave energy, energy of sea currents.

Small Hydro can, with thought, be sensitively integrated into the
