I need a water level. It seems you can make a one-person water level by
hooking one end into a reservoir. If anyone has done this, I'd be
interested in what they used for parts.

Usually some clear vinyl tubing about 3/8" in diameter will do. Get a tight
cap for each end. Fill the tubing with water and keep it in a bucket.

I've seen Home Depot sell a model with an alarm at one end. It buzzes when
you've reached your mark.
