Under shot wheels were never that effecient, overshot used not only the weight of water but gravity as well and was used as much as possible often diverting water for long distances just to get enough head. This I believe is where the term for pumps came from. Many leats here in Cornwall ran for hundreds of metres. The principle was used before pumps for pumping water out of the mines and running the mill stamps as well as for grinding cereals.
On open days in May and September mainly. We can now turn the wheel under water power using a pump without changing the river level, there is a video of it here th-cam.com/video/nUuAubvj1Ds/w-d-xo.html
Whenever installing a waterwheel, Regardless of size and community engagement, performance is underwhelming. An underthrow wheel at minimum needs to be fed at height of the axle, to at least have 1/4 of the circumfrence powered. They need to raise the wier or the waterlevel!
That’s just absolute knackers and makes me think instantly that you’re an American. Giving an opinion on something they have zero experience of. Shut up until you’ve actually got something factual to say. For your own good as well as the good of others. Bloody yank morons.

How often will the wheel be spinning all the time , or occasionally?
+Richard Cornwall Occasionally - however not at the moment as there are birds nesting in the wheel buckets!

angle too sharp
it's need more water to spin fast
Cuál es la función de esa cosa.
What language are they speaking?
English - Norfolk accent
Esa rueda no sirvió para nada
