Problems
Lack of Public and Political Will Dispute over water Deficiency of Technical Capability Absence of Technology High Cost & Poor Government

Recommendations
Create Awareness & Educate people Encourage use of Run of River HPP Involve Foreign Consultants for Technical Training Work with ONLY those who Transfer Technology Encourage Private-Public Ownership Educate investors about high cost to benefit ratios
