@franontheedge - for good order i have to tell you that these kind of mills are only found in the east of holland and that they  would not work in the environment we were talking about. to run such a mill you need a brook, which you cannot find in low lying land or land below sea level. (but i am sure we can find a solution and use it somehow)
