Apparently I'm not the only one who's considered catchment-fed micro-hydro -- seems pretty ideal as a supplement to a PV array.
In my particular case, I've got at least 10-15' of drop between the spouts and the back of the property; I haven't penciled out the cost/benefit to see if the pipe is worth it, so it may end up more "science experiment" than "practical source".
