Domus ---- Research

This site was picked based on one main resource... water.
We decided to use the water in order to create power through hydroelectricity.

A micro hydro system usually consists of several elements including:

• A water intake (usually as part of a weir), which diverts the flow of the water source.
• Trash screens and fish screens (to remove rubbish and to ensure that fish cannot swim into the system)
• A penstock pipe (this allows the water to move from the intake to the turbine)
• A powerhouse (where the turbine generates the electricity)
• An outflow system (which allows the water to flow back into the water source)
• Electricity cables (usually beneath the ground or overhead cables).

this was an original idea for the building method but we then
thought it would be more practical to use standard building methods.
