Overview

Mirco Hydro Power plants can foster socio economic development. However, development does not happen by itself but needs to be strengthend by activities.

Decentralized small-scale water power or micro-hydro schemes (defined as plant between 10kW and 100 kW) are a particularly attractive option in many rural areas. Water is a traditional source of power in some parts of Nepal, Peru, Sri Lanka etc. The paper Micro-hydro power: an option for socio-economic development highlights the importance of micro-hydro power in the socio-economic development of isolated hilly and mountain areas. The paper is based on cases drawn from Asia, Latin America and Africa[1]
