Selecting the right equipment is crucial to the success of a hydropower system. Learn about impulse and reaction turbines, the two main types used for micro-hydro systems, in this guide.
A micro-hydroelectric system for your home, farm or ranch can reduce your use of utility-provided electricity. Learn about the water and power needs of a micro-hydro system in this guide.
Any new micro-hydropower facility in Missouri is subject to regulatory approval concerning surface water use and diversions. Learn about the steps for licensing one in this guide.
Missourians are fortunate to possess two important pieces of a viable hydropower resource: water and elevation. Learn about these two important characteristics of hydropower in this guide.
Micro-hydro involves a range of system sizes and can be used with a grid-connected or off-grid, battery-based system. Learn about micro-hydro systems designed to offset energy consumption in a home, farm or ranch in this guide.
