Just a comment which has no basis in fact.

I do believe that shouldn't represent a problem to someone wanting to use the technology for power generation, but if anything the required parameters for such envisioned project are very narrow to say the least.
The local authorities if anything could require that an impact study be carried out before undertaking such project. In the case of a property owner with water streaming already well within the limits of such property that shouldn't even come up.
Many communities in the DR's campos use some form of natural cycling way of producing energy. Some are as advanced as any top notch technologies since many foreigners that have relocated to the DR have use such advances to good use in their new adopted piece of land.
I came across a good example of this in my lat trip to Jarabacoa, where a friend of mine had just installed a system to produce electricity and recycle water as well. It took him a good time to build it, but the end results are hard to argue against.
