Abstract
Today, energy is an indispensable necessity, making it imperative to harness even the smallest energy resources available to us and extend the benefits of this progress to rural communities, ranging from large settlements to villages. To promote the utilization of green and environmentally friendly energy sources, such as water mills, it is crucial to pave the way for their implementation. Research indicates that by harnessing the energy produced by water mills, the costs associated with electricity transmission and maintenance will decrease, resulting in more affordable energy for the local communities. Consequently, the production of water-based energy, as a renewable energy source, will contribute to the economy and foster sustainable development. During the research, comprehensive information was provided regarding the technology and materials employed in the construction of water.
