Abstract: This research paper presents a practical implementation and analysis of a small-scale hydroelectric generation plant designed for an educational institution. The project utilizes rooftop rainwater harvesting, a vertical Kaplan turbine, and solarassisted pumping to generate renewable energy. Detailed design parameters, turbine selection, prototype testing, annual energy output, and economic analysis are discussed. The model serves not only as a viable green energy solution but also as a demonstrative educational tool.
