Abstract

This programme promotes small-scale hydro schemes in Peru, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Kenya by converting the energy of flowing water into electricity that can be supplied to villages via portable rechargeable batteries. Local people are trained to build and manage their own systems and earn money to replace their own units at the end of their cycle.
