[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 682274, member: 10391"] Clint Idaho and dirtball are right on. Take a piece of 4" pvc at least 2 feet long to build a "catch". Glue a cap on it but first drill a hole in the center of the cap and glue in a plastic fitting that you can hook your hose to. Now if there is trash coming down the creek you may want to put some window screen or such over the end of the catch to keep things clean. I catch the irrigation water for my orchard this way but use a 2' pvc line instead of a hose. Just weight the catch down in the creek with rocks. Now if you don't rise above the catch it will fill by itself and you won't have to prime it. If you have to rise above the catch first lay the hose in the creek and fill it by plugging the end and when full lift out of the creek keeping the end plugged. Now when you open the downward valve it will siphon. [/QUOTE]
