Here's the situation. I have a spring located at an altitude of 6,600 ft. We plan on building a cistern there to catch the water. We need to pump the water up to the top of a mountain at an altitude of 7,200 ft and at a distance of .8 of a mile away. There will be another cistern located there also. I need to know what type of pump would be best to do this and the recommended pipe to use-black poly or metal. Would we need to consider another tank and pump in between the spring and top of the mountain?
This system will provide water to a Tarahumara Indian village deep in the Sierra Madres Mountains.
Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated.
