damming of water.
Instead, some of the water in a river is diverted and sent into a pipe called a
penstock.
This penstock feeds the water downhill to a generating station.
The natural force of gravity
creates the energy required to spin the turbines that in turn generate electricity.
The water leaves
the generating station and is returned to the river without altering the existing flow or water
levels.
All of Plutonic s component specifications and construction methods are consistent with
providing the least amount of environmental and visual impacts.
In fact, in a comparison of
