Subject: RE: BS: Get'n h2o uphill w/o pump... J-n-Kansas?
The property line runs in the middle of the creek and we have about 300 feet of creek.... I dropped a submersible pump in (after running 300 feet of extension chord and 200 feet of garden hose) and ran it for 4 days and with that it only maintains but doesn't refill the pond... I suspect I'll have to put bentonite clay in it to stop the leakage... The active creek isn't all that active but does flow most of the year...

I', thinking that I can rent a gas powered pump with a 3 inch hose to get the pond refilled and then it a matter of riggin' up something like Brother said to keep water flowing to it...

The height is about 15 feet difference between the creek bed and the top of the pond...
