Hydro

Although, at first, we thought that we could take advantage of a nearby river, finally it could not be used for Phase 1. As this project has different aspects, a variety of people are involved in it. Therefore, for this section, we got in contact with a postgraduate student from the Architecture Department who was studying the hydro potential for the community. According to his research, the potential output of hydro power is not that large and it could only be used to supply electricity to a 4 dwelling Commercial Area ('Courtyard') built for the village of Craik, and not to the under-examination phase or to the other phases' chalets.
