Water has powered industry for centuries. This undershot waterwheel powered a flour mill. One of a number on The Whanganui river, but the only one restored.

And it is a constant source in a river.
Just like generating electricity, but with no middle man.
Hmm.

"In the late 1800’s, they started to see commercial use for generating electricity.
"Though they are not as popular for energy generating today, many people still build them for use in low-flow areas, or as a fish-safe alternative to dams."
