Abstract- "Small hydro is a type of small-scale hydroelectric power system that takes advantage of naturally-flowing streams to produce electricity in remoteregions. The process itself is relatively simple. Water is diverted from a river into a pen stock, which then transports the water to a turbine. After these mechanisms generate electricity, the water is delivered back into the river. Pre-feasibility studies conducted by Hannes Posch Austrian consultant during June 2008 for the development of 22 potential sites for small hydro power schemes in Kurdistan."
