Description: Cape Verde islands are famous for many things, from volcanoes and white-sand beaches to the warmth and hospitality of their inhabitants, but definitely not for their (virtually inexistent) rivers.

Only three of the populated islands escape the desert area categorization having an average annual rainfall higher than 250 mm, but still fall on the semi-arid range with an average annual rainfall lower than 500 mm. That’s not a friendly setting for a hydro power plant. At least not a conventional one.
