Hi Nick,
I was involved with many micro-hydropower projects in Nepal. Micro-hydropower has been successful in meeting energy needs for many remote communities, where the probability of grid supply reaching them is extremely unlikely in our lifetime. There are organisations that may be interested to provide you specific location that you may wish to consider for the documentary: Nepal Trust: Jim Donovan, http://www.nepaltrust.org/, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community Awareness Development Centre (CADEC): Subarna Kapali, http://www.cadecnet.org/, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would you be interested in off-grid micro-hydropower systems in Canada? I have worked with them both. If you need more info or contacts please do let me know.

One recent film I made that some of you might have seen was called SACRED GROUND, shown on PBS Frontline about the battle over what should be built at Ground Zero. It was also shown on Channel 4 in the UK and round thew world. I am now researching a documentary about living off the grid. It will include examples of small scale hydro energy use. It will be about off-grid lifestyles in the 3rd world and the West. Some of it will be about developing countries and their energy solutions; partly it will be about what we in the West can learn from the third world and from the Green movement. Some of it will be about mobile lifestyles - people living in trailers, boats, caravans etc. Please could anyone reading this send me actual examples of mmicrohydro energy or other off-grid solutions that are being used currently, anywhere in the world. preferably things you are involved in personally or where people you know are involved personally? Thanks very much, and please do forward this request on to others who might be interested.
