Trevor Price and Douglas Probert

Applied Energy, 1997, vol. 57, issue 2-3, 175-251

Abstract: Macro and micro hydropower systems are described, along with a consideration of the technical and environmental problems involved. A case study, with Bargoed in the Rhymney Valley, South Wales as the proposed site is then presented, with some of the issues involved when choosing a specific hydropower-harnessing scheme discussed. In conclusion, a set of associated proposals, which would improve the Rhymney Valley in an environmentally- and socially-beneficial way, are described.
