Abstract
The exploitation of small waterfalls to produce electricity is a topic of considerable interest today, not only for the benefit that it can draw the small community but also for the opportunity to further increase the electricity derived from renewable sources. Then, after a historical examination of hydropower in Italy, technologies, constructive features and guidance on best choice of sites with particular reference to small system will be shown, other than the main legal references and incentives. In conclusion, a study conducted in the late 80s, following an agreement between ENEL and seven Italian University, with the aim to examine in detail the feasibility and affordability of small hydropower in some Italian regions, will be described. In particular the results derived in this study for the Region Campania and Basilicata will be explored.
