Energy recovery potential of a water district network in South Africa Water district networks hide a renewable energy potential which can be recovered by means of hydropower. See our recent findings on hidden hydropower potential! A hydraulic model has been developed for the preliminary identification of excess operating pressures within the system. These excess pressures…
