I am trying to save water in draught stricken North Carolina. I have a french drain and roof water that I can collect in a small pond. The trench is currently open. My thought was to use a pump to transfer and pressurize the water to a hose for hand garden or landscape watering. I don't know much about pumps. My backyard landscaping (and house) would only be 70' away from my mini pond, and vegi garden etc more like 150' away. Total rise would only be 5'.

Could someone point me to some links or tell me what I would need to pull this off. I first thought I would bring power all the way to the pond for a submersible pump, but someone said I could set a pump (and watering hose) at my house and pull water through a pipe from the pond. Can a transfer pump prime that distance? Is there a clever way to shut a pump off from a distance. I know I can always connect shut off valves in my watering hose, but a remote kill switch might prevent letting an intermittent pump from running too long.
