On the one hand, "low head hydro power" is a feasible search term and could be a good place to collect related information, and offload the long article at hydropower. On the other hand, the original essay dumped-in by a one-issue editor months ago and ignored ever since, needs so much work to turn into an article. On the gripping hand, WP:SOFIXIT and all that. Sigh. We've got 10,000 people working on cataloging the Pokemon universe and nobody working on hydropower. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 13:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
This section of the article seems to not be neutral. It seems to be trying to promote the use of low head hydro power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.194.210 ( talk) 01:20, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
It does mention disadvantages. I think the problem is the advantages and disadvantages are repeated in several sections. Shannock9 ( talk) 23:08, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Can someone put in the lede exactly where the term "low head" comes from or means? Jadon ( talk) 18:19, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
"The power will be transmitted by cable to conversion equipment located off shore." Eh? I'm an electrical engineer and not specialised in Hydro. But it would make more sense (to me) to put any conversion on dry land. Shannock9 ( talk) 23:05, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
There is quite a bit of interest in "low head" turbines, however this article is focused on "no head" obviously to promote future ideas from Instream Energy Systems. I would suggest the fiction be removed and it be organized into those two areas. Dougmcdonell ( talk) 22:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
The government regulation parts of this article seem to be US centric
