A question from Kwaku Bamfo Bandoh

we have dug a borehole from which we use a solar powered pump to store water to a height of 12m and water volume of about 3oooliters.I have just learned the possibility to use this set up to generate power as well.Will someone help me think through this?if this is possible we can share the water with the community while we generate hydro power as well.The community will enjoy clean water and power as well.
