Abstract

Hydro-power is one of the most established renewable sources of energy for electricity generation. Several assessments have been identified different possible sites for mini-micro hydro-power especially in the north, north-east and south-east regions of Bangladesh. In this research, an assessment has been made to find the possibility of mini-micro hydro-electric power generation by incorporating five charas available in Chittagong University campus. The collected data such as: flow of water, height of falling water and water reservoir
during several times over the year that shows the significant scope of minimicro hydropower generation in the above mentioned area.
