[QUOTE="Saltydawg, post: 233306, member: 2944"] Yea it's up hill from everything I want to water so was gonna try to do it without any pumping equipment. There is probably 100ft of drop from the spring head to the pastures. The old concrete foundation from where they capped the spring many years ago is still in tact. I'd need to build a cover for it though to keep the leaves and critters out. I'm not really sure how to test the flow rate of water coming out of the ground but it keeps the surrounding area below the spring head in a soupy mess all year round so I think it's a pretty good spring. I can't even drive the 4 wheeler below that spring cause I sink to the frame in thick mud. I have to approach the spring from the upper side. I've just never dealt with springs and irrigation before so dont really know what I'm doing. :lol: Guess the first step is to clean out the old concrete foundation and find out how much water I have to work with.
