Mar. 14, 2018

There are thousands of non-powered dams in the United States and Canada, either for flood control, water level control, or even recreational purposes. Ossberger Hydro has different turbine configurations that help to minimize the civil work related to the turbine implementation on these existing dams and also provide the operation flexibility of managing high water level and low flow ranges.
