Small hydro (definition)
[edit]In Canada, small hydro definition goes to 50-MW, (ref). Thus suggest change to the text in first para – "The definition of a small hydro project varies, but as a generality, a generating capacity of up to 10 megawatts (MW) is the upper limit of what can be termed small hydro. This is extended to 30 MW in the USA, and 50 MW in Canada..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.13.48.17 (talk) 19:54, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Done. Updated article. Rehman(+) 11:41, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Weak, wordy, vague prose is a hallmark of Wikipedia writing
[edit]Every hydro development is "corresponding to river discharge and potential", if that phrase has any meaning at all. Three Gorges was developed "corresponding to the river discharge and potential". That is not a defining characteristic of small hydro. Small hydro is a development less than 50 megawatts (in many areas), or some other reference threshold. --Wtshymanski (talk) 22:13, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
