I will have two sets of cisterns. One at the top of the property and one set at the bottom. There will be some flow and head downstream the cisterns at the bottom of the property that can send some (not all) of the water back up to the upper tanks to keep them filled (taking some load off the pump system at the top) with the water ram. Not talking about perpetual motion. Thanks.
