Small hydro (defined for this seminar as less than 20 MW) is an important part of the existing hydropower fleet and realistically represents significant untapped new hydropower potential in the United States.

This seminar is for any Clean Currents attendee who works on or is interested in hydro projects or hydro units less than 20 MW in capacity.

The seminar includes information on both modernization of existing facilities and opportunities for building new at existing civil infrastructure.

Part 1: Modernization Case Studies: Maximizing Value of Existing Facilities: Case Studies
Part 2: Making the Business Case for Building New Hydro at Existing Civil Infrastructure
Part 3: Tools Available to Help in Day-to-Day Work involving Small Hydro
