==== ==== ==== ==== == Efficient energy source
It only takes a small amount of flow (as little as two gallons per minute) or a drop as low as two feet to generate electricity with micro hydro. Electricity can be delivered as far as a mile away to the location where it is being used. Reliable electricity source
Hydro produces a continuous supply of electrical energy in comparison to other small-scale renewable technologies. The peak energy season is during the winter months when large quantities of electricity are required. No reservoir required
Microhydro is considered to function as a 'run-of-river' system, meaning that the water passing through the generator is directed back into the stream with relatively little impact on the surrounding ecology. Cost effective energy solution
Building a small-scale hydro-power system can cost from $1,000 - $20,000, depending on site electricity requirements and location. Maintenance fees are relatively small in comparison to other technologies. Power for developing countries
Because of the low-cost versatility and longevity of micro hydro, developing countries can manufacture and implement the technology to help supply much needed electricity to small communities and villages. Integrate with the local power grid
If your site produces a large amount of excess energy, some power companies will buy back your electricity overflow. You also have the ability to supplement your level of micro power with intake from the power grid. == Suitable site characteristics required
In order to take full advantage of the electrical potential of small streams, a suitable site is needed. Factors to consider are: distance from the power source to the location where energy is required, stream size (including flow rate, output and drop), and a balance of system components - inverter, batteries, controller, transmission line and pipelines. Energy expansion not possible
The size and flow of small streams may restrict future site expansion as the power demand increases. Low-power in the summer months
In many locations stream size will fluctuate seasonally. During the summer months there will likely be less flow and therefore less power output. Advanced planning and research will be needed to ensure adequate energy requirements are met. Environmental impact
The ecological impact of small-scale hydro is minimal; however the low-level environmental effects must be taken into consideration before construction begins. Stream water will be diverted away from a portion of the stream, and proper caution must be exercised to ensure there will be no damaging impact on the local ecology or civil infrastructure.
Once the plant is up and running it can give a lot of energy with very little emissions - which is good
To build a big plant you also need to build a big dam, which will cause big changes to the immediate environment - which isn't that nice.
it is renewable
no idea sorry
Advantages include the use of skilled supervisors for learners, it reduces complexities, and it has a built-in feedback mechanism. Disadvantages include not being realistic in classes where pupils are not on the same level and not taking into account the individual needs of students.
The main advantage to micro financing is better loan repayment rates but a disadvantage is that the deal is too small for a lender to devote enough time, money and diligence to it.
The advantages of the micro processor is that it small cheap to produce and is able to take over a lot of tasks that were time consuming to people. advantages of micro processor is that these are general devices which can be programmes to execute a number of tasks. The disadvantages are that this tends to make some. the disadvantages are that the can crash and you can lose all your work. by deva
There are not really any advantages with a ATX over a Micro ATX just Micro ATX is smaller and ATX is larger
Trend Micro OfficeScan is a security software. The advantages of Trend Micro OfficeScan is the security they offer. They offer physical and virtual protection and endpoint protection.
They include Algal Oils, Anything-Into-Oil bioprocessing - both macro and micro processes, Cellulosic Biofuels, Hydro, Micro-hydro, Nuclear, Solar, Tidal, Wave, and Wind Powers.

A micro drive is a very small hard drive that is used in portable electronic devices, such as digital cameras, music players, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The advantage of a micro drive is that it is very small and portable, and can easily be carried around with you. The disadvantage of a micro drive is that it is very delicate and can be easily damaged if it is dropped or knocked over. Some other disadvantages of micro drives include their high price and the fact that they tend to have lower storage capacities than regular hard drives.
