What is another word for micro hydro?
Pronunciation: [mˈa͡ɪkɹə͡ʊ hˈa͡ɪdɹə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
Micro hydraulic power plants are small-scale hydropower systems that generate renewable electricity from moving water. Also called "mini hydro", it uses turbines and generators to convert the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy. Furthermore, it is often associated with "pico hydro" which are even smaller hydropower systems typically less than 5 kW. Other synonyms for micro hydro include "miniature hydro", "small-scale hydro", "low-head hydro", and "run-of-river hydro". These systems can provide off-grid power for remote communities, farms, and rural households, reducing dependence on diesel generators and lowering carbon emissions. Micro hydro is a valuable technology for the development of sustainable and affordable energy solutions in many regions of the world.
