The use of archimedes screw has shifted its use from pumps to a source of hydropower at low heads as water turbines. Archimedes srew turbine performance is influenced by several parameters including turbine submersion level, turbine tilt angle, pitch ratio, and number of blades. The contour of the lowland Jambi city that is passed by the Batanghari watershed makes the drainage potential can be utilized to become a small-scale hydroelectric power plant using screw turbines, because the contour of Jambi City is low, resulting in small water pressure although the discharge is sometimes large due to the overflow of the Batanghari river, then the choice of turbine with a low head is the solution, in this study, a study was made to calculate the potential drainage flow in the city of Jambi, whether it can be used or not.
