Water also doesn't get damaged through constantly moving it.

Thats a pretty fucking big on. Also, the technology to "turn a wheel" to create electricity.. pretty fucking established.

And.. god forbid, if the community you are in ends up needing water more than electricity, well, you've got a bunch stored and ready for other uses.
