Basically, if you embark with a brook/river and build above ground a structure such as:

Code: [Select]

z0    z1
XXX  fMf
XFX  ===
XXX  fff

X= constructed wall, F = constructed Floor, f = top of constructed wall, M = gear assembly, === is waterwheel

and use  a bucket brigade to fill the container to 6/7 water (before building the waterwheel of course)  The waterwheel will be powered....

But only if you build it outdoors.

I'm guessing this is similar to building a windmill x-amount of z-levels down as long as the center tile of the windmill has outside access.

If you have to build it outdoors, that might indicate the more convenient power source of wind-power.
wave-power is nice but probably unnecessary...

Waterwheels provide more power than windmills.
