So far it looks like the sling pump may be the best option. The only concern is if the intake is big enough to effectively capture drifting aquatic bugs. I'm also thinking about a solar system that can pump during the day and also store enough energy in a battery to run the pump at night. Could...
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I had thought about the archimedes screw but was concerned with bug mortality. If the tolerance between the screw and pipe is small then it probably won't matter. I would like to use a solar powered pump but $$ is the issue. The ram is interesting and worth...
I thought about letting gravity do the work but the stream in question is very low gradient (western Ohio) and that would require an extremely long system.
I am trying to develop a means of directing a small amount of water from a river or stream to an experimental stream bed tray that attempts to replicate the selected waterway flow and substrate. It is basically a flow through system where the water is drawn from the river to the tray and then...
