Why choose hydropower? For centuries the natural power of flowing water has been captured and exploited for agricultural processes. From the Roman Noria, (a design of waterwheel that regulated the flow of water through the aqueducts for the public water supply) to the 16th, 17th & 18th Century Water mills and most recently for the generation of electricity. ● Mature, proven and robust technology. ● Low maintenance & Long system lifetime (25 years or more). ● High efficiency with predictable power outputs. ● Small-scale schemes are environmentally benign. ● Constant generation (unlike wind & solar). ● Good correlation with demand (more water available in winter when electricity demands are higher ). ● Offsets carbon footprint. ● NO FUEL REQUIRED, 100 % sustainable! · NO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, 100 % renewable!
