 Despite the expansion of '''Small Hydro Power (SHP)''' and other renewables in many countries, there are still some issues to be addressed in order to reach a fair level of development for this technology. One of these issues is the lack of awareness and information about the technology and its benefits. If policy-makers, energy planners, vendors, developers and consumers do not have access to accurate, easiliy grasped information on the technology, they will not be able to make a responsible choice of service.<ref>Alliance for Rural Electrification, 2008</ref><br/>
