3.Close The Floodgates In Riverreach

The water-powered wheels are connected to a grinding apparatus inside a building, but you can't take the millstone while the machine is working.

Perhaps you could harness the power of water and turn the apparatus off.

Stop the water flow in Riverreach near the water wheels outside to turn the machine off.

4.Retrieve The Millstone While The Waterflow Is Turned Off

You've successfully turned off the water flow in Riverreach. This enables you to retrieve the millstone.

5.Craft And Place A Mill

You've retrieved the improved millstone. With it, you can craft a mill.

The mill will only function when there's a force generator nearby. A force generator can be a water wheel, which is placed in a water stream, or windmill sails. Both can be crafted at the Alchemist.
