Abstract: Energy from falling water has been converted by man to perform useful work. The turning water wheels converted the energy of the falling water into mechanical energy, or shaft horsepower. Usually, the water wheel turned a shaft the was connected to some work process as a gristmill. Today modern turbines all through they look much different than the old water wheels, represent refinements of similar technology a more efficient way of converting the energy of falling water to mechanical energy, resulting in faster shaft rotation. If the shaft from a turbine is connected an electric generator, the two pieces of equipment become known as hydro turbine generator unit or a hydroelectric generator. With world electricity demand increasing, exploitation of the considerable potential for hydropower generation in many development countries is an attractive prospect. The need for cost-effectiveness, decisions on the scale of new developments are being made one such attempt is micro hydro power generation.
