Hello to all. I am trying to set up a seawater farm in a desert coastal area of S- Peru. I have to bring water from sealevel over a distance of 3miles, gentle slope, to a height of 300ft. That is basicaly it.
Now I was thinking of building a watertower near the beach with a 600gallon tank. Question: how high must the tower be to be able to fill a ground level basin at the height and distance mentioned. All this using a 1 inch diameter pipe.

If any of you have a different economical ecological way of transporting seawater uphill like this, I am open to suggestions.

Thank you in advance for your input and I look forward to suggestions or additional questions.
