The present study carried out to use the water harvesting techniques to collect the water behind the dams proposed in the west southern desert from Iraq and then use this water for generating power to illuminate remote villages situated in the studying region .The study shows that there is feasibility to generate about 455kw to illuminate 337 houses at the rate of 1350watt per house and by request human consumption for 440914 persons at the rate of 450 liter per person per day. Also there is a feasibility to establish micro hydropower generation contains number of turbines designed to generate power variety from 2.5 to 25 kw.
