====== Micro Hydro-Electic Systems ======
Micro hydro-electic systems are small scale hydro-electric power generation systems.

Water flows into the system through an intake at a high elevation.

Gravity drives the water downhill towards a power house.

A turbine inside the power house generates electricity.
