Dear Brian, Since this is an informal survey, first stop SPOOM, or the society for the preservation of old mills. They have all th mill listings online. Most of these sites have not switched over from the old mechanical systems, but have the head and flow so they could. You will also find most of the best spots are taken by these old mills. Second, check out my new design at http://wildwaterpower.com With my new gravity wheel design, you may have to reevaluate what constitutes a potential mycrohydro spot. My design just needs flow, not head (it creates its own head). Also, in my internet travels, I came across a organization that just put out a study on realistic midsized hydro power sites. But unfortunately I cannot remember which one! I am not sure if it was government or a hydroelectric support group. I will see if I can find it again for you. -Dennis Buller ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
