About the Organizer	HRC was established under the joint sponsorship of Chinese government and UNDP/UNIDO in 1981 in Hangzhou, specializing in researching and training of small hydropower. It has been successfully operating for over 20 years. Entrusted by Chinese Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Science & Technology, UNDP, UNIDO, ILO, FAO etc., HRC has successfully hosted 55 international training workshops attended by around 1100 participants from more than 100 countries. Among these workshops, entrusted by the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade, now called Ministry of Commerce, HRC has hosted more than 30 workshops of various types of small hydropower for nearly 800 international participants. The content of these workshops ranged over various fields of SHP: SHP planning, feasibility studies, the low-cost SHP civil works, hydrology, SHP equipment, operation and maintenance of the power plant and turbine pump. HRC also successfully organized dozens of domestic small hydropower courses. In 2003, HRC passed certification of ISO9001: 2000，enhancing the overall management level and the market competition.
Training Course Content & Climate condition	The training workshop will cover the important topics and introduce experience on small hydropower development: Procedures of SHP development, Hydrology, Feasibility study, Civil works, Turbo-generator, Electric design, Automation, economic evaluation, Equipment selection, Operation & maintenance, Water Resources in China, Three Gorges Project, South-to-North Water Transfer, Investment and Financing in SHP Development, etc. The Workshop integrates classroom presentation with study tours, which include different types of small hydropower stations, rubber dam, hydropower equipment manufacturers, Shanghai and etc. Through lectures and practical study, the participants will get to know more about SHP development in China, including the standards, experience and new technologies, etc. The friendship, exchange and cooperation are expected to be further strengthened. Climate conditions around the training area: Hangzhou, a southeast coastal city of China, is an area of subtropical monsoon with mild climate and four distinct seasons. As a saying goes, "Above there is Heaven, down below are Suzhou and Hangzhou". Hangzhou is well known for its beautiful West Lake. The average temperature is about 23℃ in May.
