You might get 1% of the water on target, probably less.
The slightest breeze would send the entire stream of target by 10s if bit hundreds of yards. Air resistance at the boundary of the stream would create turbulence the surface, extracting droplets from the edge of the flow the whole way. The amount of energy required to accelerate water (which is heavy) to those speeds would be stupendous. Just build a pipe that goes around or over the mountain.

Exactly.. a pipe would have a siphon effect and be a lot more efficient.

I was working on a reply to SubspaceDistortion about the power requirements to move that much water in that form.
