Answer:

water currents? like the water mill

Step-by-step explanation:

Water mills can be used for such purposes as grinding flour or agricultural produce, cutting up materials such as pulp or timber, or metal shaping. Traditional water mills are made from a wheel or turbine with wooden blades that turn when water runs through.

if you have water flowing through your property, you might consider building a small hydropower system to generate electricity. Microhydropower systems usually generate up to 100 kilowatts of electricity.
