There are now small hydroelectric generators, including portable ones you can carry in your backback, which weigh about 30 lbs. You can install one in your home if you are handy, and there are videos online to give you step-by-step instructions. However, there are safety issues, as with anything that uses electricty, and if you do not feel confident in yoru expertise in this area, you should probably hire an electrician.
