I tested running water wheels with sourced water from an underground river waterfall. The pressure of downstream the waterfall pushed the water up to one z-level below the river connection.

I connected a dead end water wheel room to it and the wheels sporadicaly moved one or two times and then stopped. Tried vertical and horizontal placment. No movement. Then I opened up the other side of the room and the water was "moving" through the room but the water wheels still did not work.

I suggest adding this information to the wiki entry for water flow. That water pushed up z-levels by downstream waterfall pressure does NOT behave like the sourced water described so far. Please note that these are just my tests and my experiences with version 40d11, if you have different results or further information please feel free to correct me.
