Hydropower Hotspots in UK with Environmental Concerns

In the United Kingdom, several potential small-scale hydropower spots have been identified in Welsh and English’s rivers. If some of the spots were used than it would be sufficient to generate power for 850,000 households. The Environment Agency Study (EA) says that setting up thousands of small-scale hydro power plants would be enough to supply [...]
