On another note, Anjanette Merino, Administrative Professional for the Rubenstein School of Natural Resources agreed to purchasing and installing micro-hydro equipment for her house in Huntington.  We agreed to site her house later this month.  If a system is installed, she offered her house as a showcase to potential micro-hydro customers.  Will follow-up on this and report back to class in more detail if desired.
