Claim 10:
11. A method for providing renewable electrical power for transporting water from a first location to a second location through a water pipeline having one or more pumps operating with an electrical power grid, comprising:
providing at least one micro-turbine fluidly coupled with the water pipeline;
positioning the micro-turbine along a down-sloped portion of the pipeline;
connecting an electrical output of the micro-turbine to the one or more pumps;
generating electricity within the micro-turbine as water passes through the micro-turbine; and
monitoring the electrical demands of the one or more pumps; and
if power is available from the micro-turbine, directing power from the micro-turbine to the one or more pumps to pump the water through the one or more pumps towards the second location thereby reducing an amount of electricity consumed from the electrical power grid.
