Environmental research

The project will be a detailed study of the technical aspect, development, hydrology and engineering and the power demand projection for the household and other livelihood application of the mircrohydro power that will be generated from the two sites will be done. It will also involve the gathering relevant socio-economic data and information on the available resources, development of appropriate watershed/ conservation program and other strategies to address other needs of the community. 1. The detailed Socio-Economic Study will include: a. matching the hydropower potential with its usage for appropriate end-use or energy utilization; b. developing the appropriate resource/ watershed conservation program; c. formulating the appropriate solution to address other needs such as enhancing food production; 2. Study of power demand projection with full consideration of the power requirements for household consumption and other livelihood applications. This project aims to assist the potential project partners/beneficiaries on the project development for the establishment and construction of a microhydro project in the Bgys. Marufinas and Tagabinet.
