The Swiss Federation through its administration developed a number of different publications on various mini and small hydropower related topics (e.g. PACER and DIANE publications). To make this knowledge available in a well-structured way, to cover all relevant aspects and to regularly update the contents, SKAT was mandated to develop a general “Concept for hydropower Documentation” consisting of six main modules being well inter-linked and allowing for easy access to the know-how. Based on this overall concept, SKAT is now establishing the first of six modules
