Could cities like Prince George (which has 2 rivers, the Thompson and the Nechako), Ottawa, Quebec and Montreal power themselves this way without completely blocking their rivers? (Never mind that PG will be powering itself with biomass from their pulpmills in the relatively near future anyways) I’d love to know how many megawatts a small scale watermill like the one you describe would generate.
