In the past, the water power of the Berkel was used via watermills that ground grain or pressed oil.
Here you can read an article on this website about the development of Berkel water power usage over time.
Nowadays, the trend is to produce sustainable energy, and the flow of the Berkel can be well utilized for this purpose.
