Question

What are the run-of-the-water schemes?

Answer 1

1. Run-of-the-river schemes are used for small-scale hydro projects.
2. These systems use the energy of flowing water to produce electricity or mechanical energy.
3. In this system, a portion of river water is diverted to a channel or pipeline, which delivers it to a waterwheel or turbine.
4. The moving water rotates the wheel or turbine, and this power is used to generate electricity or mechanical energy.
