Not being an engineer, I ask the following question sincerely.
The one location proposal that is close to the river. Would it be possible to build ducts under or around the site that the river water would flow through? Set up generator turbines that would help to power the new facility. Would it be possible to generate enough power through the constant flow of the river, and would it be economically feasible to do so? As well, as environmentally plausible to do so?

The red tape to do that almost certainly would make it not worth doing. Solar panels could probably provide as much power.
