We did a very simplified version of JRT. Followed the stream up the side of the hill, then dug in a couple of feet and layed in a pipe. Threw in a few stones on end inside the hill and covered with the remaining dirt. Used a large stone to support the pipe coming out of the hill. Should have used PVC pipe, but already had old galvanized pipe pulled from an old well. This worked for about 50 years and the pipe finally rusted thru, although a couple of times, we ran a rod up the pipe to remove the iron/sulfur deposits. The spring was approx. 1/4 mile from the house on the family farm in Ohio. We had a small fence around the outlet because we would drink from it when working the back acres. The overrun ran down to a basin for the animals which had a spillway to the creek.
