hi guys,

my current water source has to be pumped up hill the my house which sometimes results in poor water pressure, also it wont pump up to the fields beyond the house the pump just isn't strong enough, but there is a spring on of the hill, i was thinking about catching the water there and piping it down, the only problem is it would have to come uphill before it comes back down, but i was thinking the fields and the house on this side of the hill are lower it would act like a syphon and wouldn't need to have a pump , what do ya think i will try and put up a very rough sketch

i apolagise for my poor sketching ability haha
