This really is not my area of expertise but there may be some interesting
information on small hydro-electric generation plants for home size elec-
tricity production.  You might see if you can get a copy of the Real Goods
catalog from California (I think around Sacramento).  They carry many
alternative energy devices.  If you are interested in large hydro-electric
projects then I would suggest contacting the Bureau of Reclamation in Denver
(It is a US government office).  If I were you, I would try to formulate
some specific questions for them to get the most out of a phone call.
