[RE-wrenches] Well siphon?

[William Miller]

Colleagues:



All of our water pumping customers to date have been pumping water to tanks
higher in elevation than the well-head.  Just now I am looking at a system
pumping to a pond that is lower than the well-head and lower even than the
bottom of the well.  The 300’ well has the head at 1200’ elevation and
pumping to a pond at 800’ elevation.  The line goes over a 1500’ ridge.  If
there were nothing impeding the water flow, would it not siphon to the pond?



Has anyone seen the basic physics available being used to advantage?



Thanks in advance.



William
