Wayne Krouse has a seductive idea: dam-free hydropower. In a year, his start-up, Hydro Green Energy of Houston, plans to have a pair of turbines pumping electricity from under the Mississippi River at Hastings, Minn.--a town willing to give a new idea a try. "Everybody likes a science experiment, and this is just a big science experiment," says Tom Montgomery, Hastings' public-works director. The barge-mounted turbines will be unconventional, but Krouse's design yields twice the energy of earlier versions--and doesn't require new dams, which take years to license...

But, he added, “the flooding would not be permanent.” A team of professors at Boston University who co-authored the study, led by geographers William P. Anderson and Tiruvarur R. Lakshmanan, investigated how automotive transport will be affected...
...South Wales, the residents of Goulburn are also weighing up the assurances of experts. The town's main dam dried up in April and two others are less than a third full. Outdoor water use is banned, and since 2002, residents have halved their personal consumption to 150 liters a day. New bores, a $A1 million-a-week cartage scheme and an emergency pipeline have all been readied, but Mayor Paul Stephenson says recycling has to top the long-term list: "The only way we can really be sure that we never go through this again is to reuse water...
