The vertical drop (head) creates pressure at the bottom end of the pipeline. The pressurized water emerging from the end of the pipe creates the force that that drives the turbine. more flow, or more head, produces more power.

The generation of electricity is simply the conversion of one form of power to another. The turbine converts water power into rotational power (mechanical) at its shaft, which is then converted to electrical power by the generator. What we need to know is, the hydropower is 100% “green” renewable energy and the small hydropower is very friendly with the environment. Investing in small hydropower you invest in green life.
