    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.

    Has anyone else done this ? Any advice ?

    Cost benefit analysis.
    50k Litre tank? Construction costs etc V possible return.
    Sounds a bit onesided already!
