    Try building and Artesian well to gather the water

    Are you sure it’s not a septic/sewer problem? Just wondering because I also have what some would call a natural spring…….it’s my septic tank leaking. : )

    plant around it. water plants in the middle. If it’s a septic leak and not a spring it may sprout tomatoes and pot all on its own

    Pumping Basics for hand pump water well

    If water is less than 300 ft down: You need four basic components to raise water from these depths.
    1) The pump-head is the part you see above ground and provides the pumping action. Some can be used with windmills.
    2) The cylinder is the heart of the system. It contains the valves and leathers or seals that provide the lift. Place in well below water level. Most work best with a foot valve. The cylinder you choose must fit into your well casing.
    3) The drop pipe extends from the pump to the cylinder. Galvanized steel or PVC (Plastic)is recommended. (Steel is the traditional favorite, but plastic is less expensive, much lighter and will never rust.)
    4) The pump rod runs from the pump to the cylinder inside the drop pipe. It provides the linkage that transfers the pumping action from pump-head to cylinder.

    This info came from site listed below and sells the equipment you will need.
