Thank you for sharing not only success but, failures. You truly are helping us all!

Hi. Thanks for the great video. I like how you share your trial and tribulations with us - making the eventual successes part of a process of persistence. I have experienced owning and sharing land used with livestock. Perhaps if you too have wind in your area you could provide some water to upper levels by using a gradual/incremental means of raising water. Mini windmills leverage the wind to pull up water and put it in above the surface water containers - like the kind that cattle can drink from without issue. A second stage (same technology) can raise water from that container to a large tank (let's say) 3 meters in the air. One could even use a solar panel and submersible pump to do the latter. Then that up in the air water can be controlled to water distant fields assuming the piping is in place. Doesn't have to be dangling pipes. 'Could just lower the water to mini cement canals - 8 " wide and two feet tall. They have them in Ecuador that come down from the mountain reservoirs. Permanent and low maintenance. And wherever they want to use the water, they use a water flag (think P.A.Yeoman) that has a chain along the bottom of a waterproof material) that when placed in the mini canal, diverts the water out of it and into the adjacent area where water is needed. In any event, ,keep up the great work. And thank for you letting us come along for the ride. - Jim from Phoenix, 118 F (47C) in Phoenix, Arizona today. So, let us know how much wind you get. Instead of using suction, wind may be your answer. It's an obedient servant and doesn't require such tight seals and suction.

Hi Jim, thanks for the feedback and ideas. Wind is limited to a short season here. Solar would work but it's a bigger investment to lift enough volume else I guess with more targeted drip it could be more affordable. Solar in the mountains would probably go walking. Needs to be close to a house to keep secure.

@@Kaiwaipermaculturebolivia With wind used for water pumping, the wind can be way below what would be needed for use as electricity. 4 mph in the middle of the night for a few hours could find your water trough/tank full-ish. And then when the sun comes out that 100 watt panel with a submersible pump could pump the water to the high water tank and then be used via gravity to feed the watering system. If you require a large volume of water to be moved more continuously. That, as you suggest would require a different scheme.

Throughout the USA and even Texas, every town with flat topography had a big ass water tank with the name of the town painted on it. Everyone in the town would depend upon that water pressure. I imagine something like those huge tanks for the Permaculture Retreat Center - serving your irrigation and water needs - as well as putting your place on the map locally for workaways and such, "Looks like we're at the right place." ;-)

Thank you for your failure it stopped me from having a failure also. Not that I'm happy for your failure I'm happy for my non failure. God bless you all
