and if good financing possibilities are available, small-scale hydropower is an appropriatealternative to assist rural electrification, which hopefully will lead to development andimproved standard of living. If this method should be practically implemented, it is firstof all intended to act as basic data for decision makers in developing countries, such asthe Rural Electrification Agency, aid organizations and private investors.66
