Abstract: The demand for fresh water resources is accelerating with the increasing population trends, the planners and policy makers have great concern with the depleting fresh water resources to meet the scarcity in coming future. Global warming is also a documented threat and causing sea level rise with the extra flow of water from glaciers through rivers. Hydro power is usually produced using flowing water from elevated level to the lower level, and sometimes water needs to be passed through the dams without any consideration if it is required for irrigation or not. Here, an innovative approach is presented to produce electricity using still/standing water in dams, lakes or ponds. The focal point of the report is to establish a wind–water hybrid system for power generation and recycling of same water without directing it towards oceans. This technology can be helpful to produce electricity from still waters, to use wind turbines in low windy areas and to promote existing tidal energy technologies.
