- Micro Hydro Power (EnergyAlternatives.ca)
"Our experience with micro hydro systems has demonstrated that water power will produce between 10 and 100 times more power than PV or wind for the same capital investment. One should not consider other options unless there is simply no stream available within two kilometers."
"Microhydro utilizes the energy of falling water to generate electricity. This is not to be confused with large scale hydro dam projects. A proper install has no negative effects on the local stream, simply diverting a portion of the available water and then returning that water back to the stream." 04-08
