Boland Hydropower

                                             https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ A “hugely important” Welsh bible which is more than 400 years old is being protected from damage with the help of hydropower, the National Trust said. The first bible translated into Welsh has been increasingly at risk of deterioration from flooding and damp at the 16th century farmhouse Ty Mawr Wybrnant, near Betws-y-Coed, Snowdonia, where it is on display. But now the Trust, which cares for the property, says it has found a sustainable solution by installing a “pico” or small scale hydroelectric turbine to use water from the nearby stream to help power the heating system to prevent damp. It means the bible is being protected by the very thing, water, that is also putting it at risk through increasingly heavy and persistent rainfall, flooding and damp, as the climate changes. The book, on display with more than 200 other bibles in different languages, is one of only 24 known copies of the fir

A dam is a large, man-made structure built to contain some body of water. In addition to construction for the purpose of producing hydroelectric power, dams are created to control river flow and regulate flooding In some rivers, small scale dams known as weirs are built to control and measure water flow. Dams fall into the category of retaining structures, or structures that are built to create large standing bodies of water known as reserviors These reservoirs can be used for irrigation, electrical generation, or water supply. These structures are built on top of riverbeds and hold back water, raising the water level. Dikes can be built along with the dam to increase the dams effectiveness by preventing water from leaving the reservoir through secondary routes. Dams can range from relatively small to extremely large structu

Located on the Trishuli River near Kathmandu, the power plant is expected to help the country to use its renewable hydro resources and increase its energy security as well as minimise imports of electricity. ADB South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia Private Sector Operations Department Infrastructure Finance director Shantanu Chakraborty said: “This is a landmark transaction that will provide strong incentives for further private sector investment in Nepal’s energy sector. “To ensure it provides sustainable benefits, this project will adopt international best practices in safeguards management and will also introduce measures to promote gender equality including job opportunities for wo
