This research aims to address rural energy poverty through the implementation of a micro-hydropower scheme in the Dingamo community.
Developed community-managed micro-hydropower scheme for Dingamo, Ethiopia
Used proximity approach and sensitivity analysis for hydrological model calibration
Simulated flow using HEC-HMS model with continuous discharge measurements during different flow seasons.
Achieved strong calibration performance for Maze watershed (NSE 0.84, RMSE 0.42)
Installed turbine capacity of 15 kW based on 95% exceedance base flow of 0.1 m3/s
Approximately 75% of the Dingamo community now has electricity access, enhancing education and local economy.
