In order to generate electricity from a community based micro-hydro village electrification scheme
there should be a stream with a reasonable flow of water passing above, through or near the village.
Water should flow preferably throughout the year (in practice, in many areas, water may be available
only during certain periods of the year), and with a considerable difference in the elevation between
two points along the stream. The amount of power that can be generated depends mainly on these two
factors. On the other hand, the harmony and the collective effort of the community members is a must
for the successful implementation of such a scheme.
