- Abstract A review of waterwheel history has conducted to evaluate the possibility and the technology development in its relation to harvest the energy from the flowing water in and out of irrigation canal regarding the tidal movement. The study has conducted at the east shore of South Sumatra. Hydro energy became a promising renewable energy in order to achieve at least 5% of total Indonesian national energy mix consumption in 2025. Tidal turbine energy is technologically potential for Indonesian future regarding the beach of 81,000 kilometers long and 20 millions hectares of tidal swamp area out of 33 millions hectares available. Mechanical torque of 30 Nm is produced by a waterwheel of 0.38 meter radius. An estimation of 60 watt at the peak of rain season could harvested from each tidal irrigation canal in Telang II. This mechanical energy is applicable to generate small quantity water pump, water aeration injector and small electric energy energy appliances.
