Pshaw. And pshaw again. For two reasons: first off, using an undine to run a water wheel can be done by _anyone_ in Glorantha. Secondly, the Roman Empire had waterwheels. They've been around for millenia. I fail to see why this begins any sort of industrial revolution. IMO, Glorantha has already had a Magic Revolution of equal import, if not greater.
Undines & waterwheels. Why not just use the river to push your wheel. An undine won't do the job any better. If you live in a desert, an undine might come in handy for your waterwheel, but since an undine can evaporate, you'll have to bring in refills periodically. Probably folks who need grinding mills in waterless regions use windmills and sylphs instead.
