im new to water power, curious what could reasonably be expected for wattage from this stream and if its worth of the effort to harvest power or just use it for irrigation.
flows from my neighbors pond onto his logging road, then dips left into my property and bisects my long skinny lot into front and back.
i cant get to rear of lot without crossing stream. most of it flows under ground, then pops up into a few branches here
unifies for a short bit
then exits into next neighbors yard.
flows most of the year, this is avg to high flow shown. not a lot of slope to the property, and not too much room to damn it up. maybe 2 feet, 4 at the max before it creates problems with access road to rear of property.
what do you think? ive got a substantial battery bank in mind.
