2. INDIA SUFFERING WITH WORLD’S
BIGGEST ELECTRICITY BLACKOUT
• 700 million people suffering
with electricity problem
including nations capital New
Delhi
Scope
• Trains, subways, industries,
hospitals, retail outlets, etc has
geared up for generators
Causes
• Extensive demand for electricity
in IndiaReason

3. Proposed Solution – micro hydro
power system
 Can be taken from
natural flow of water
 Production from
isolated home or small
community
 It is an economical
source of energy
 Installation is small
dammed pool at the
top of water fall with
pipe leading to a small
generator housing
 Production up to 100
KW of electricity

4. MERITS OF THE PROPOSED
SOLUTION
 No direct emission in the
conversion process.
 No harmful effects to the
environment.
 Supplying power from
renewable source.
 Water directed from the
stream and redirected back to
the same water.
 Economic benefits like
efficiency, reliability, cost
effectiveness, enhances rural
development, less carbon
emission.
Beneficiaries
 Agriculturalists .
 Schools and educational
institutions.
 Machinery supporting
industries.

5. Implementation
 Constructing dams.
 Saving Water from the Reserved
areas (Dam for water storage and
run of the river system).
 Reduces the risk of flooding.
 Stakeholders:
- Hydro developers authority
- Ministry of environment &
forest
- Central Pollution control board
- Rural electrification corp.
- Respective state control board
Human Resource:
Prime Ministers rural
Employment Generation Scheme
Provision of Funding:
Every year Budget
Capital Subsidy scheme from
rural communities

6. PROCESSING SCHEMES
This system can be implemented by three schemes.
 Storage schemes –impounds water from the reservoir.
 Run-of-river schemes – uses natural flow of river.
 Pumped storage schemes – pump water from the lower
to the upper basin.

7. IMPACT OF THE SOLUTION
Scalability
• This system can be accomplished within 2014 – 2017.
• So within three years there will be full-fledged flow
of electricity in our country.
Sustainability
• Proper maintenance of the equipments involved in
the system on regular time basis can make this
sustainable for long duration.

8. CHALLENGES
Economical and Political Environmental
 Implementing this system
will incur high cost of
estimation
 Regular monitoring by ruling
parties of the particular state
 Proper utilization of funds
allocated for projects by the
government
 Lack of rainfall
 Natural hazards
 Erosion of turbines blades
