How much power you can generate from a hydro generator is mainly dependant upon two factors, flow rate and pressure head. From that its pretty easy to calculate the power you can generate. In this case I'm guessing the head is only a few feet at most. From just a few feet you really can't pull any reasonable power out of it.
