In many (Europeans) country the water mills has been used for many years.
The main used was for grains harvest nearby. The owner of the mill could charge a fee in money or in grains and let the grain owner make flour from his crops.
Now days, many of those mills are useless or in really bad condition.
The picture is from Spain. And those mills are a tourist attractions.

The water flow is just enough to move a heavy rock to grind the grain.
Would be possible and profitable to restore a water mill and use it for mining ⛏️ BTC?, What numbers do I have to run in order to know if would be possible?
Here is my setup

Edit:
In 1870 watermills still produced 2/3 of the power available for British grain milling.[62] By the early 20th century, availability of cheap electrical energy made the watermill obsolete in developed countries although some smaller rural mills continued to operate commercially later throughout the century.
