Large-scale hydro-electric power
has been used worldwide for a long
time to generate huge amounts of
power from water stored behind
massive dams. Small-scale hydro
power has been used for hundreds
of years for manufacturing, including
milling grain, sawing logs and
manufacturing cloth. However, it
can also be used without a dam to
generate electricity for home scale
remote power systems. These socalled
micro-hydro installations can
be a very good power source, as
they produce electricity round the
clock. Over the last few decades,
there has been a growing realization
in developing countries that micro
hydro has an important role to play
in the economic development of
remote rural areas. Micro hydro can
provide power for industrial, agricultural
and domestic uses through
direct mechanical power or by the
coupling of the turbine to a generator
to produce electricity. This paper
deals with the potential of micro
hydropower in India and the possibility
of generating power in decentralized
