Maintenance
Do you have access to the required skill?
Look around. Does your village have a skilled electrician? Is there a person who can repair tractors and
other machinery and equipment. Can he learn about the electricity generator and look after it? Or can
you find a technician from a neighbouring village or city? Would he agree to come to your village and
help you out when necessary?
Did you identify the problem?
If you CANNOT answer YES to even one of these questions it would be difficult to try to successfully run
a hydroelectricity system in the village. Such a system cannot succeed without the required knowledge
and skill. So this would result in a waste of money, and create problems in the village.
