A Guideline for Forest Development to Promote Mini-Hydropower: a Case Study in 4 Community Forests in Lampang Province

Abstract

Healthy community forests can benefit the society by releasing water mass for small scale hydropower plants. This study has an objective to obtain a guideline for accelerating development of community forests that ideally can serve hydropower all year long like natural ones. From surveying 4 community forests in Lampang Province, the current rehabilitation programs were inefficient in providing water resources for hydropower. Thus this study developed a “Water-drawing trees’ roots” model. The model proposes planting more evergreen trees to help protect and conserve moisture in the forest in order to enhancing surface run-off. The “Water-drawing trees’ roots” is expected to support the country’s AEDP2015 plan in using alternative energy instead of fossil fuel.
