Power from the Landscape

The Hebble Brook certainly has the potential for hydro power - though perhaps not at this site. As can be seen from the video and photos, the area immediately up and downstream of the owner of this stretch is very flat. The potenital energy of a hydro scheme is a function of the head and the flow - so with very little head (and comparatively little flow) there isn't really much opportunity for using this stretch of the brook.
