We have in our front
yard a well that was built before 1865. It is the type where you can open the lid and has pulley system for dropping
bucket into well. I want to use this
water for irrigation in times of drought. What are some good methods besides electric or petrol powered pumps. It is in the front yard under beautiful
trees and so windmill right over it is not an option. Can we use windmill at a distance and
pump directly onto crops and orchard ? Or would it be better to pump into storage tank and use gravity to send it down hill . Well is on higher level so most of the water is going at least at slight angle down hill. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
