Whoever drew that up is an idiot. It'll never work with the turbine lower than the water level in the funnel. *SMH* Such a simple mistake...
It is on par with the nonsense forced on the uninformed public, for example the local news is reporting that the pump storage facility will generate as much power as a nuclear power plant. What it will actually do is take a considerable amount of land and then the power will be bought whenever the power price is low and then it will return power to the grid when a significant profit can be made. There will be a net loss of power due to friction and evaporation.
Yes, operated for the benefit of the consumer it can be an asset, but the real intent is harvesting money for a select few that came up with the scheme.
