If you were able to capture that kinetic energy as electricity at the head (point of entry) of the treatment facility using a hydraulic turbine with an 75% efficiency, how much electricity could you generate.

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

because it doesnt turn kinetic energy into electricity a

Kinetic energy turbines, also called free-flow turbines, generate electricity from the kinetic energy present in flowing water rather than the potential energy from the head. The systems can operate in rivers, man-made channels, tidal waters, or ocean currents. Because kinetic systems utilize a water stream's natural pathway, they do not require diversion of water through man-made channels, riverbeds, or pipes, although they might have applications in such conduits. Kinetic systems do not require large civil works because they can use existing structures, such as bridges, tailraces, and channels. so it doesnt
