If you take water from a creek, run it downstream in a pipe, and then return the water to the creek, the people downstream can't really complain. You've reduced evaporation losses on the water running through your property so they actually end up with more water than before.
GREAT OVERVIEW... MOST APPRECIATED!! MY WIFE AND I ARE RETIRING IN SEPT AND LOOKING TO POSSIBLY BUY LAND AND/OR A HOME IN NW MONTANA! WE WANT TO HAVE A MICRO HYDRO SYSTEM ON OUR PROPERTY. A COUPLE QUESTIONS PLEASE: 1. When we work with our Realtor in Montana, what should we tell him/her regarding the water supply that we want so we can get the fastest approval for a micro hydro system? * Should we say that we want only properties that have springs, a.k.a. water originating on our property? * And I'm assuming that means natural artesian wells as well correct? 2. Can you give some "basic" or general costs please to help us with pre- planning. * I fully realize that there are many variables and choices but, what would be the general cost of the hydro system in your video above? If you could e-mail us any brochures you have on tips, advice, checklists etc etc it would be most appreciated. Most Appreciated!
