Been pretty dry this year so I been looking into ways to get water to some of my pastures.
Located on one of the hills above my pastures is a natural spring that "never" seems to go dry.
It used to supply water to the old farm house but hasn't been used in ages.
There is a 5x5 concrete foundation poured around it to act like a mini-well and the spring bubbles up into it.
It's been filled up with leaves and stuff over the years however so isn't much of a storage tank now.
Anyone have experience or advice on the best way to get this water down the hill and on my pastures?
Keep in mind I live at high elevation in New York state so winters are cold and everything freezes up that isn't buried.
I would only need the water for a few months every year....July through late Sept.
