Where can I find info on micro hydro power? I live in the city, next to a creek from a spring! ...however, it flows all year round. I have a 500 foot frontage on that creek and it drops about 20 feet. I'm thinking that with a little dam, and some pipe, I could have some constant energy. When it rains, even a little, that creek is a shotgun of water coming off the hills around me.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you Google hydro generators you will find plenty of information and dealers.
