1 Hydro site analysis spreadsheet 'site suss' by Hugh Piggott <hugh@

3 This spreadsheet was written for my own use many years ago, and I have found it very useful too.
4 If I were to start afresh now I'd lay it out differently and maybe I will do that one day when I have a spare
5 This year I added a front end for US 'english' units in the left hand column.

7 I hope you enjoy it - please don't sell it on eBay behind my back - it's just a personal tool and not a public
