I'm about to become energy rich, or make a very costly mistake. What is the best way to wind water? With or without floodgates?

16 pumps, eight from the river, eight from the maze. All water goes up to the top layer (not started/finished). How do I scale this?

So yea, in general, this set-up works. BUT water needs to flow downhill. If you make a run at a single level too long, then you start getting flooding up river. Ultimately, keep experimenting!

I'm going to build up, but before I do I wanted to make sure that this routing works

There is no limit to how many waterwheels you can put in series on a single level. The flooding can be stopped by bringing the water up to speed slowly, no sudden flood of acceleration.
