  I can see why people would want to live there, that is some beautiful country,
  
  I like how they said it was a community effort where everyone has to be aware and manage what they use and help out together. Nice to see it also benefiting other communities as well like that one in Africa.
  
  Has anyone looked into personal hydro power before? I’m curious to learn more about it vs other renewable sources.

    Lots of small hamlets in this part of the world that were often built alongside fast flowing streams have clubbed together to get community hydro schemes running. One famous one is in Wensleydale North Yorks where they make the world famous Wensleydale cheese. its just infrom of the old mill.
