- Description:
- In some areas of the world the importance of small hydro may not be quantitatively or yet economically advantageous to warrant its serious consideration at this time. But in many areas, even though the overall percentage of that guaranteed by small hydro may be small, its marginal value may be much greater. In some areas of the world hydro, particularly small hydro, offers a substantial and practical contribution to energy problems. Furthermore, because hydro systems are capital intensive relative to operational costs they tend to have built-in inflationary protection. Once built, the fuel -- river water-- is essentially free.
