Ideas on how to anchor 6” PVC to rocky riverbed

[Bob Cooper]

I’m trying to think about the best way to attach a 8’ piece of 6” well screen to the bottom of a rocky riverbed. It will lay flat. I’m thinking of a bag of concrete at each end with some type of U bolt where the threaded part extends above the PVC and I could clamp a bar across it to push down on the pipe but really open to some other ideas.

Put it in at a 45 with the upper end out of the water so you can pull the pump out when needed. The bottom end can be fitted with a heavy axil and a couple of solid wheels so it can be rolled into the water and be heavy enough to stay put. Then just anchor the upper end to the bank somehow.
