Mini-Hydro Power Plants
A pipeline of run-of-river hydropower plants across a number of rivers (Asia). The hydropower plant uses low head and run-of-river schemes for power generation which is more friendly to the environment, not requiring a big catchment area and hence poses no flooding risk. The water flows through the intake of the river. This kind of project poses min. changes of the environment
