   They sell somewhere  small pump that you put on your electric drill.
Should work as long as there is no sludge involved.  If I can find one I
plan to use it on a battery powered drill from my lawn tractor or field car
battery to get some of the swamp water which should have dissolved nutrients
in it.  I might have to dig a sump whole but there is the easy way with a
little round noisy stick:>)
