I have a house which is about 300 feet from a lake and would like
to take irrigation water from the lake.

It is about a 10 foot rise from the lake to the house level.

I would appreciate any comments on the following possible
approaches.


Some thoughts...

1) Pumps push better than they pull.

2) You can buy a pump with a gasoline engine, and run it when you need -
this eliminates an electrical trench, but probably reduces the convenience
of use.

3) If I was you, I'd go with your first option.
