Using surplus water to turn a turbine, now that's an idea! Our ground here is too flat to make that work. Sounds like you have a very sensible setup there. I am currently working on a design for solar heating my workshop and eventually the new barn when it is built.

Gives me a very satisfied feeling, more so than hiring someone to do it!
