4. Steps for Surveying a Micro
- Hydro Village Electrification Scheme Site
Once a suitable site has been assessed as having a potential for generating electricity using micro-
hydro technology, this site has to be surveyed in detail. This helps to identify the best locations for each
component of the construction for optimal overall performance of the scheme. It may be necessary to
identify several locations for different components and then decide on the most optimal combination.
The factors such as overall scheme capacity, cost, demand, distance to village, environmental aspects,
ease of maintenance, safety and land use patterns, etc. may be considered before a final decision is
made.
