If I had 100w of hydro power that was easy to harness I would. 100w day and night, rain or shine for one household is actually a good bit of power.
Calculating water power is actually very easy.
Take your GPM times your drop in feet, this gives you foot pounds per minute. 33,000 foot pounds per minute is 1 horse or 734 watts.
