energy extracted from the water depends on the volume and on the difference in height between the source and the waters outflow. This height difference is called the head. The amount of potential energy in water is proportional to the head. However‚ it is generally only considered for locations where there is more than 10m of head. In low head situations‚ the low velocity implies the need for large flow rates and hence large machines to recover a modest amount of power. Hydro power is an eco-friendly
