    Want to pipe cattle drinking water from a spring -water source- to a water trough 190 metres away.

    Question 1.

    what fall is needed from top of water source -a wall- to top of water trough in order to get a reasonable flow of water. I feel that I would need a two inch pipe - like the pipe the ESB uses to protect underground cables - but am open to suggestions. The flow will be all year round as spring never dries up .

    Question 2

    any ideas as to what type of pipe would do the job and where it might be sourced. ? I assume that a 6” wavin would definitely do the job but would I have to go to that expense- and with all those joints . A 50 mt + tubing with two + joints would be a better job. The pipe would not need to be of a high quality as it’s not transporting sewage, no electrics involved, etc it just needs to be reasonably robust
