“…The environmental implications of small and large hydropower projects were also studied by Henning et al [4,5] and Ferreira et al [6]. Mayor et al [7] assessed the differential contributions to the regional energy and water security of large-and small-scale hydropower deployment in the Spanish Duero basin. Results of their study showed greater impacts of SHP, mainly as a result of cumulative effects cascading along the rivers system.…”

“…Recent studies addressed the current situation of SHP in Brazil, exposing regulations and policies for the growth of the number of plants and the perspectives for the sector [25]. Brazilian SHPs are expanding due to their characteristics of small area occupancy and minor environmental impact, besides the possibility of installation closer to the places of consumption, which reduces the loss of energy in the transmission and, consequently, results in a reduction of costs for the consumer.…”

“…Small hydropower is one of the most attractive and probably the Oldest environmental friendly energy technology (Ferreira et al, 2016). Small hydro potential is available on small rivers, canal heads, canal drops and Continental Intercalary borehole but only in the Northern Sahara.…”

“…Such hydraulic power can be usefully exploited for its transformation into electrical energy through turbine generators or inverted pumps (Ferreira, Camacho, Malagoli, & Júnior, 2016;Giugni, Fontana, & Ranucci, 2014).…”
