Another good trick to be aware of is a simple Archimedes Screw Pump, to move water uphill, diagonally. While it is not very efficient, it is easy to hook up to a simple windmill, which turns the screw lifting the water. Which is a heck of a lot easier than lifting water a bucket at a time.

Importantly, there are some very important rules to know if you ever want to transport a significant amount of water with a vehicle. If you don’t follow them you can knock your vehicle over, destroy its brakes, and cause serious damage to its engine.
Dear yefragtuwrabrumuy,
I used your link and was pleased to see a lovely image of the Archimedes screw. However the info about the use of water with a vehicle was not on the page. Would you be willing to post a link to the proper page for that water-in-vehicle info? I went to the web site (which I have bookmarked) but could not find what you were referring to.
thanks a lot!
