I built my fifth pond in 2007. It is one acre in area and 14 feet at the deepest point. The water level is 13 feet above the lowest point at the backside of the dam. I am considering putting a two inch line with a shut-off valve through the dam 1 foot below the discharge pipe and down to the low point at the backside of the dam where I would install a small turbine with a twelve volt generator. I would have one acre foot of water and a head of 12 feet. Would it be possible to generate enough power to charge a couple twelve batteries (to run some lights, pump water, etc.). I have no electricity as the location is quite a distance from any power source. Anyone else tried anything similar to this?
