This is a distinctly technical guide to every aspect of installing a hydropower scheme, from, if necessary, building the dam to raise the water to power the turbine, selecting the right type and size of turbine, and installing it. Largely based on the authors’ experiences installing systems producing up to 500 kW in the Andes, this book doesn’t have much relevance if you live in a semi in suburbia, but could have if you have a reasonably flowing river, or stream on your land. 380 pages, full of drawings and diagrams, with some B&W photos. Paperback. Practical Action Publishing.
