i am currently working in the north central to the mountains of peru, on the nucary river. my project is farming and farm animals.
in order to advance this to other villages, i find it necessary to develope a hydro electric project. the river runs north to south at approx. six mph. my enginerring skills are questionable at the very least. can some one help push me in the right direction? as most dogooders, i have very limited funds. the equipmet, as much as possible needs to be reproduced in the jungle with little power tools.
