Micro Hydro is environment friendly, decentralized approach of generating small power to cater the localneeds of a remocity. Constant supply of head is available throughout the year with this river. An effort is done to designmajor components of the Micro Hydro Power station at Beehar river site .The case specific Components like Runner,Scroll casing, Draft tube, Penstock, shaft coupling and Unit spacing were designed, layout of the plant was decided.Energy is integral to virtually every aspect of life. It is hard to imagine life without it. Yet many of our most seriousthreats to clean air, clean water and healthy eco systems stem from human energy use. Currently, most energy isproduced from coal, oil, natural gas and uranium. These energy sources pollute our air and water, damage the earth’sclimate, destroy fragile eco-system and endanger human health. A large amount of energy we generate is wasted, raisingenergy costs and harming the environment. We can meet our energy needs while protecting human wealth, our climateand other natural systems. The solution is a rapid transition to energy efficiency and use of clean, renewable energy suchas the sun, hydro and wind.
