Description

In order to provide a sustainable use of the Micro Hydro Power Projects (MHPs), it is crucial to take into account the environmental state of the plant’s catchment area. Since degradation might decrease the retention capacity of the soil, the discharge might be altered and thus the occurrence of the river drying out or flash flood events may increase. All of this negatively affects the sustainable use of the MHPs, since without a continuous discharge, sufficient and sustainable electricity supply cannot be provided.
