In some cases micro-hydro
electricity schemes may not be
suitable for some villages.
People can start a project of this kind at their own cost, or with some external assistance. Though
these micro-hydro power projects are suitable for some villages, for some the solution to the electricity
problem would not be the same.
This booklet has been produced to help you to recognise that difference. It tells you how you could build
a suitable hydroelectricity project for your village, the ways you could take part in this at village level,
and the help you could receive in order to do this.
You could receive further information on the technology and community based approaches used from
the booklet “Community Based Micro-Hydro Village Electrification Schemes – Technology & Approach”
published by Practical Action.
