Research on Main Problems and Their Countermeasures on Chinese Small Hydropower Development

The constructions of small hydropower stations play an important role in improving local energy structure, development of corporations, agricultural and environmental melioration, and improving living standard of local people. Thus, studying status at small hydropower stations of China and existed problems in their development has a practical significance. With investigation data, the paper comprehensively analyzed running status of the stations, equipment aging in their development, lower utilized water resources, backward management, and disordered exploitation, etc. Therefore, the authors put forward the stations need to be technically reformed, perfecting management, professional training and so on, so that utilization efficiency on water resources could be continually improved.
