There is one kind of a water pump (old) that sends water up a hill and you run it like you want it, the system is a valve that takes water in free fall (like a cascade of some sort) and the pressure sends it up… But it uses no electricity.
I saw a documentary on Netflix about hillbillies from the appalachians and they used one there, it was about two guys heading out to the mountains and getting lost in order to survive, and making knifes and making oil from animals and such… Good documentary but, i saw a water pump there that needs no electricity!
