Title says it all. I am looking for a submersible water pump, a few litres an hour would do, driven by propeller/turbine working off the flow in the stream to pump water up a few feet. Or of course any relevant components of this idea would be useful. Many thanks for your thoughts. Water wheel, unless on a raft, is no use as water lever varies about 5000% of minimum 100mm or so.
Is it possible to build a sluice for an over the top water wheel? The stream is diverted in to the sluice so it runs over the top of a bucket wheel. This gives loads of weight to the wheel, so it can be better used to operate quite a powerful pump.

Ram pump might be a better solution, though it depends upon flow.
Hydraulic ram?
Used in TPLACs for water supply.
