Abstract
This report is the result of a collaboration of experts with diverse perspectives and a wealth of experience in designing, developing, owning, and operating small hydropower facilities. These experts met in Golden, Colorado, in December 2013 to put forth innovative ideas about accelerating the development of small hydropower projects. Innovations put forth by these experts can yield more than just technology advancements. Innovation is possible in all phases of project development, from concept to commissioning to operations and maintenance. These innovative ideas were refined and organized in subsequent collaborations among these experts to produce this final version of the report
