I suspect that environmental laws present a big obstacle. Clearly, for larger installations this is an appropriate concern, but for microhydro applications it's not really much of an issue. Convincing folks otherwise, however, is a big challenge.

Unfortunately the hydro community has done a poor job of advocating hydro as a renewable resource.? To me, if wind and solar is, then hydro definitely is. The solution is better advocacy and public relations. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
