This workshop teaches how to design a fully functional micro-hydro system. Learn site evaluation, including how to measure and estimate head and flow. Perform preliminary system sizing for mechanical and electrical power generation of 50-watt to 100-kilowatt capacities. The workshop will include field exercises and tours of operational systems.
The five day micro-hydro workshop was the best practical session I have taken in a long time!

Thank you for your knowledge of hydro systems. Because water is very respected in my culture, this was one dream for me because I learned how to use the water, the mother water. Thank you SEI and my instructors for helping me fulfill one of my dreams and my spirit.
