[QUOTE="Beaver, post: 234476, member: 4217"] As dj indicated, the water flow rate is very important, plus how many acres do you need to irrigate? Do you think your spring can provide enough water for your pastures? Anyways, check out this link [url=http://www.fao.org/ag/AGL/aglw/farmerwatertraining/suppmat.htm]http://www.fao.org/ag/AGL/aglw/farmerwa ... uppmat.htm[/url] . They've got most comprehensive information on the Internet for whomever interested in irrigation. Download them and have them printed. Terrific information! I've also been fidgeting around to build a syphon irrigation over here, not for pastures though, but for crops. If you are only going to be using it from June to September, I'd suggest you to build a small canal. This way it's much cheaper and you don't have to dig through 8 feet soil to prevent your syphons freeze up. But frankly, I am really not sure what's best for your situation.
