This is something I have been interested in for years. I am addicted to electricity and uninterrupted service. We have solar but I'd still like to add some hydro and maybe even wind power to the mix. I have creeks for 2 of my property lines and water rights to use them. So I always keep an eye out for possible ways to use them. Even though one is very large and only on my property line for about 180 feet. The other is spring fed and more or less dies off before it goes off my property. Neither one has much fall the big creek has less than a foot in 180 feet. The smaller one drops 35 feet in 1600 feet. But after finding this calculator for hydro I can see it may be possible to make power from either one. I thought I'd share here in case anyone else is interested.
