Damless hydro

All you want to know about Damless hydro

Damless hydro or Damless hydro-electric is a renewable technology based on capturing the kinetic energy of rivers, channels of chutes, spillways, irrigation systems, tides and oceans without the use of dams[1] [2].

Since no dam is required, damless hydro may dramatically reduce the following:

  • The safety risks (of having a dam)
  • Environmental and ecological complications
    • Need for fish ladders
    • Silt accumulation in basin
  • Regulatory issues
  • The initial cost of dam engineering and construction
  • Maintenance
