READ MOREMicro Hydropower System Design Guidelines | 2 Figure 1 Typical Arrangement of a Micro-hydro System Source: IntechOpen 2. Hydro Principles The basic physical principle of hydro power is that if water can be piped from a certain level to a lower level, then the resulting water pressure can be used to do work. Hydro-turbines convert water pressure
