Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. Hydropower is considered a renewable energy resource because it uses the earths water cycle to generate electricity. Water evaporates from the earths surface, forms clouds, precipitates back to earth, and flows toward the ocean. As far as Bangladesh is concerned, only a small fraction of electricity is generated by hydropower. The government has set a target of meeting five percent of the electricity demand by 2015 by utilizing renewable energy, and 10 percent by the year 2020. Currently, renewable energies contribute to less than one percent of the countrys total electricity generation.The aim of our thesis is was to demonstrate and observe the hydropower of our country in micro-scale by our experimental setup which is completely new in concept .this thesis paper consists results of our findings and might help in case of utilizing this renewable energy potential.
