Renewable Energy for the Home

Trying to find Hydropower for Home

17 years ago

I have a creek running through a portion of my backyard, and I thought that maybe I could put a turbine or waterwheel in it to generate some power. Does anybody have any information on how to do this, and has anybody actually done it? I'm curious to find out if I can!
