I live alongside the Nant Dowlias in Pontypridd, S.Wales. I have often wondered if it would be possible to use the flow of the water to generate electricity or heating for my home. I have considered a watermill but the cost seems to out weigh the benefits at this moment in time. Plus every time I have contacted the Environmental Agency the impression that I get is they think I am a complete nut case. In time I would like to build my own smaller house in the garden, as I am still at the planning stage I would appreciate more information on this topic. In the summer the Nant Dowlias is no more than a stream in the winter it can be 15/20 ft deep and flood over the fields creating a flood plain. Thank you I have found this topic brilliant.
