I've got a well w/ a 2hp pump that moves 20 gal/min. I need to get water to the middle of my pasture about 1500 ft away. Or I've got a 1 acre pond that could supply water to my pasture about 700 ft away. The only electric is at the well-house for now. Terrain is flat and soil is soft. I can't figure out the best option--pvc or poly pipe the 1500 ft? Solar pump from the pond? Do I need to know velocity/flow, friction of pipe and do all kinds of math? I feel like I'm back in middle school algebra trying to do a story problem and don't know which variables are important. Any tips/suggestions are appreciated!
