How do I pump water from the pond to use in the house?

Question

How would I pump water from a nearby pond into a house to use as a water source? There is no electric or gas on the property. And how does a gravity fed system work? What are some other ways to get water to the house cheaply?

Answer 1

That water in your swamp is full of bactera, bugs and God knows what else!

I would drive a well point and use a hand pump.

Answer 2

1st, it may not be safe to use. Germs bacteria could be deadly.

Gravity means the pond has to be higher than the house, the pond must be on a hill higher than you

Use a wind mill pump or generate electricity with wind or solar.
