But I am not an expert.
But I do know how others have used this resource. There is a pump that runs off the power of falling watter. I can't remember what the name of it is but it requires no power and will pump watter from a stream. You could use this to pump to an elevated tank to supply watter to the cabin, but the pressure will not be great unless the tank is 30 or 40 feet above the level of the house.
The pump is a simple device that can be made out of PVC pipe and works as long as the stream is running. Wish I could remember the name.
Well there will probably be an expert come along that will tell you. Good luck and I am excited for you.
