I want to build a houseboat that I could anchor in middle of a slow moving river and harvest the energy from the current under the boat. I also intend on using solar panels.I would also incorporate a floating garden area that uses the river water for irrigation. I'm high

       Wasn't this done ages ago, in the Seine, in the form of moored floating water mills?
