Posted on 27 Jul, 2014 11:04 AMPro-dam lobby has long praised the small or micro hydropower projects, especially run-of-the-river units as least damaging.

Holi-Bajoli hydropower project shifts banks
Posted on 21 Jul, 2014 04:59 AMI could just about see a small makeshift shelter with a yellow canopy. As I made my way through the small stream and climbed uphill, I saw a JCB machine trying to clear a path. Further up the road, female voices speaking the local dialect started to emerge. A small hearth surrounded by utensils and jars of tea, sugar and lentils greeted me at the entrance.
