Micro hydropower system is a nondepleting, nonpolluting energy source that has provided reliable power in the past and is one of the most promising renewable sources for greening the economy. In addition, micro hydropower systems offer stable, inflation-proof, economical, renewable electricity supply using proven, available technologies.

Pakistan has prioritized meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and was the first country to adopt the SDG 2030 agenda through a unanimous resolution of Parliament. Pakistan has many rivers, streams, and springs that could be used to generate electricity to meet the energy requirements for off-grid rural residents, cottage owners, small communities, campsites, parks, and remote lodges.
