Gilkes did sell quite small Turgos, one or two of which can be seen on youtube. Have they given up on those types of schemes?I find the projects need to be very big for Gilkes to be interested and some people have been let down by Evans but worth getting a quote off both.

Does anyone know on average how much water you would be potentially allowed to extract from a stream to power one? I seem to recall its 25%?
Is that something that the environment agency would approve?Can be 100% if you have a dam which you can regulate.

Thanks for you input, I don't think it can be justified for flood prevention its way off the beaten track.Definitely if you can justify on grounds of flood prevention. It was the EA which recommended putting in the surge pools to stop our stream from flooding the house.
