It doesn't go into both tanks - only the one at the top - which pulls the (empty) one up as it decends. The (empty) one now at the top is filled by a river, the one at the bottom dumps the water into the oggin.

You may only get 5% efficiency, but that water is returned to the river and will continue to flow, surely regaining its kinetic energy very quickly, allowing it to be used again further down? There are of course far more efficient systems than old-fashioned water wheels.
