So it's basically someone stealing water from a river to fill his pond

It appears that this design is using a swivel where the hose connects to the shaft rather than a pump. If that's the case then this pump design depends on the hydrostatic of the fluid in the 4 rounds of the coil, each perhaps ~0.5m high. This would mean that the "pump" could not move the fluid higher than 2m.
A better, similar, design would have the same water wheel frame with paddles powering/rotating a fluid pump mechanism that take in water and could pump it much high/faster relative to the force of the current and the surface area of the submerged paddles.
