Introduction There has been growing interest in alternative uses of wood waste in the energy and construction industry as well as its use in the manufacture of engineered wood products [1].
Furthermore, developing and promoting markets for products made from recycled wood waste, such as wood-plastic composite, pelletized sawdust or engineered wood products can be beneficial as seen in Australia [21].

Furthermore, efforts should be made by the government to conduct feasibility studies in these areas to determine the possible capacity of small hydropower plants and the scheme that will be suitable for these locations based on available hydrological and hydraulic data, such as head (m) and Volumetric flow rate of the water Q(m3/s) as these determine the type of hydro turbines to install and the civil works required.
