1 kW
About 0.01 m³/s falling 6 m: the power of the water as it drops.
- enough to power about 0 homes, if it were all turned into electricity
Power of falling water = density × gravity × flow × height. Average flow and height as shown above; an estimate.

The line follows the river as mapped in OpenStreetMap; heights from the 30 m Copernicus model, which smooths narrow drops — the published height of the falls is the one above.
Around the falls the river drops 102 m in 1.2 km.
