DAVE: This is a very broad question that would have infinite number of replies.
I would suggest to supply to the group what you have available to produce the desired power ( MINIMUM Water volume, head of the stream and the length of the pipe from intake to turbine placement). Your idea is practical and many has done that as well as to use it for electrical needs in emergencies or to supplement as needed.
