help needed - hydro project using basic stamp

Hello
·Just require a little assistance. I am currently doing a degree project at college in electrical engineering. I am in the motion of building a mini hydro electricity plant. I am now looking at control systems for the system, possibly either looking controlling the flow of water with the use of valves. Or another approach is to have a tank collecting the excess water and when the tank reaches a certain level, a sensor will send a signal via the microprocessor to empty the tank.
·I was requiring some information possibly on what system you may have, or if the basic stamp will be satisfactory. What sensors or other peripherals devices i·should you use?·
·I actually am not fully up to speed on what the·basic stamp does!·

    www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/books/edu/Wamv2_2.pdf is a great place to start learning about the stamp. You need to design the project first and then decide what sensors you need to control it.

    Another excellent resource is the manual for the Process and Control kit:

    www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/prod/sic/Web-PC-v1.0.pdf

    It will give you a good introduction to using a Basic Stamp for control and
    the sensors available.
