I am trying to come up with the best way to supply water uphill.
I have a constantly-flowing spring which supplies my house. I can position a catching tank of some sort and have it fill from the spring overflow. I would like to find a way to pump water OUT of that tank and back UP to a pasture, where it will water my cattle. The distance along the slope is about 200 feet with a total rise of about 50 feet.
I do not want to drill a well (doesn"t make sense, the cattle are not on that field long enough).
There is NO source of electricity.
What are my options? What type of pump can I use? I"ve read about hydraulic pumps and they seem to waste a lot of water.
Solar? Battery-powered? Gasoline?
Looking for ideas right now. Could always just fill a water tank but I don"t want to make multiple trips to keep the stock tank full. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
