The article discusses how small hydropower plants can be a valuable source of renewable energy. The researchers used GIS software to find suitable locations for these plants based on their power generation potential. By analyzing different development plans, they identified a plan that offers the best balance of cost and energy production. The study showed that locations with lower watershed elevation and closer to rivers have higher hydroelectric power generation capacity.
