Going with the Flow is the only book of its kind published in the UK. A comprehensive guide to small scale water power for domestic, community and agricultural use, it shows how to tap one of the UK's forgotten natural energy resources - our rivers and streams.

For use as a primer by anyone interested in setting up a water powered, off the grid energy system, Going with the Flow takes you step-by-step through the whole process - from the principles of micro-hydro power through site evaluation, technical design and construction to the legal, environmental and economic aspects of small scale energy generation.

Going with the Flow is another great book from CAT for people who want to adapt to eco-friendly technologies close to home and are looking for all the details how.

Topics include:
  • Have I got the right site?
  • Will my water course give me the power I need?
  • Which turbine should I choose?
  • What materials and equipment will I require?
  • Can I sell surplus power to the grid?
  • Are there any legal requirments to sort out?
