Dam free Water Turbine Electricity Generation Unit

generation and supply of hydro-electricity to a fish farming community within the Kafue Flats.

The solution is on the supply of electric energy to enable supply of storage facility services to the traders who buy fresh fish for supply to urban centres such as Lusaka. most of the food stuffs consumed in urban centres are brought in from the rural parts of the country. these foods need to be supplied fresh and consistently so that they continue being acceptable by the consumers. once scaled the quantity of fresh food available on the market will increase and become available to more consumers.

inconsistent availability of fresh fish and other food materials being consumed in urban Centres from the country's outlying areas due to spoilage because of poor or inadequate cold storage facilities.

the introduction of hydro electricity will facilitate for more fish to be preserved and transported fresh to intended markets. currently 30% of fish transported to urbun markets is spoiled due to poor storage. this results in poor supply and high prices.

improved food supply systems to consumers in urban Centres. Increased incomes due to increased sales of fresh fish. the fishermen, traders and consumers will all  benefit. The generating unit will be delivered to the river by road then power supplied to the residents of the island from the unit.

track quantities of fish supplied fresh - increased fish supply from 180 fishermen

Track flow of disposable income through the community. - increased incomes from180 farmers and 500 traders

Track health and nutritional status for the community members. - improved quality of life for the inhabitants

the solution is solving a challenge that is localised but a source of a nationwide food supply system. it is also using water that is locally available and therefore generating electricity cheaply and cleanly. solar, kerosine and other sources of light energy are are too expensive to make economic sense on the islands.

All the energy generated by the turbine is meant for direct use by the targeted population within the island and the urban Centres that rely on them.

the turbine is transported to the river from the central assembly point. once installed, electricity is generated easily and and distributed cheaply to all supply outlets on the island. community members access services at an economic charge.

supply electricity and refrigeration services at a fee.
