I have three creeks on my farm. The two largest are about 6 feet across and run a few inches deep all the time. Where the two largest meet there is a pool about 3 feet deep and deep pockets in the bends.
I would like to plant fruit trees and grapes .im thinking realistically 200-300 gallon capacity daily
The vertical lift is under 20 feet height and 45-100 yards in distance.
If I put a solar power well in, I could install a tank and switch for irrigation.

Anyone else utilize this method for irrigation.

Suggestions.

Have you considered a hydraulic ram pump? No electricity required for those.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to try it. I wanted to irrigate fruit trees and garden. I might need a tank and gravity flow from the accumulated water.
