Small Dams Could Pump Out Big Power, Says Boulder Startup

Think of a hydroelectric project, and what comes to mind?

Probably the giant Hoover Dam, or the Three Gorges megaproject in China. They’re projects that generate a lot of cheap, clean electricity at a continuous rate, but come at the cost of major disruptions to ecosystems and communities.
