I forgive you, you are a man of taste ...
Aries, we talked about it a while ago, and for me it was clear:
The hydraulic ram has a major defect, which makes it unusable in many cases: its efficiency is only 20 to 30% depending on the case. That is to say that approximately 70 to 80% of the water arriving in the device will be lost. Aries is therefore an ideal solution for raising free and abundant water (a source, a stream) but not when water is scarce.

Your suggestion to use the retention basin, to shift the use, of the production, is valid.
But the wind turbine brings up the water in small quantities, the turbine needs a high flow.
The two lower yields reduce the overall yield.
The gigantic dams, fed naturally by rivers, take up a lot of space, and do not produce as much as that, compared to nuclear power, but that's all good.
But note that it is at the scale of a country.
In your example, There is no natural stream, you need a pump to bring the water up into the basin.
Do you sincerely think that this more complicated and expensive system, than a simple roadblock, can be used by an individual?
