How much of the flow in the creek can I use in my micro hydro system?
The short answer is not all of it, the correct answer comes from a specialist which will look at the factors such as whether or not the creek is fish bearing and calculate what the minimum in stream release will need to be in order to sustain the natural eco-system within the creek. This number is often expressed as a percentage of the mean annual discharge (% MAD).
