New small turbines, including a vertical axis hydraulic turbine, have been developed and tested. Manuals for designing small hydro projects at ungauged sites have been created. 16 micro and mini hydro projects and 19 remote community studies have been supported. A large low head rim turbine is operational at North America's first tidal plant site. The article discusses the potential and challenges of small hydro development in Canada.
