Hello everyone,
New here, first post, seems like you guys definitely know what you are talking about. Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me. Please know in advance that I have absolutely no idea what I am doing or who to ask.
I've got 16 hectares/38 acres of dryland. Ive got a well with water at a depth of 16 meters or 52.5 feet. Well has production capability of 18.6 Liters per second or about 294 GPM. I am in the middle of no where in northern Mexico. I have no electricity. I want to use the water well for irrigation; water is good and sweet.
How can I do this? My first thoughts were to just purchase a gas self priming pump with a 300 gpm output and connect it to a couple of large Nelson sprinkler guns or even do flood irrigation. I just don't know if a small gas pump of that size can suction water from 52feet below surface??
An acquaintance suggested I get a solar pump. Also have 0 knowlegde of this. I just want to do something productive with it. Im stuck and I need help. If anyone out there knows anything about my next steps Id greatly appreciate some help. Land is currently used for pastures for cattle. If I fix this up cattle might be able to eat some green grass this year.
Thank you kindly!
A
