I work for a non-profit organization in Swaziland, Africa and we're about to re-direct a stream of water at the top of our property to bring it down as a water source for our buildings, crops, and livestock. While water is the primary reason for capturing this water source, I feel like we also have the potential to generate a significant amount of electricity (from a cost basis) due to the extremely high costs of electricity here.
The water flow rate is only approximately 1000L/min (265 gal/min) but we have a change in elevation of about 700m (2300 ft). Unfortunately, we'll have to pipe the water close to 5 miles to the bottom of the property.
Any thoughts?
