Hi

I have been thinking for some time about hydro on my kerry property.

We are high up in the mountains and we have a couple of tiny streams that sometimes flow very well. I was thinking on a huge tank (50,000 litre) that is filled by these streams, I could then discharge the tank when its full into a pelt on type generator.
