Been thinking about the pump today and the water wheel. Sometimes I have just too much water. I mean once I had 3 feet of water above the top of a 700 ft long dam . my big emergency spillway was overboard and both by spillway pipes were full. Plus I have some acreage that I use for free board and it was very full. That was when the hurricane hit the gulf coast and it only lasted about 30 minutes. What a surge.
