         I got a high tech geek question!!
 
 If, big if, I had a Shallow well bored, water table is less than 20 feet deep here,
 could I?  Install a energy efficient pump with a 200 gal. tank 12 feet high.
 Yes, but wait theres more.  I would like a generator with a 10 water wheel.
 Run the wheel with about half of what the pump could supply. Now the big
 question.   Could I generate more power than the pump would use?
 What size generator you ask. Big enough is run the pump and a few kilowatts
 to help with the house.
 Would this work?  If it can, why is it not being done by others?
