A pump and pump manifolding system is disclosed for producing selected directional flow across a barrier, such as a levee, between at least a plurality of adjacent reservoirs such as shallow ponds. Typically, a housing which has at least two sidewalls is placed in the barrier. One of the sidewalls forms the fluid-tight barrier or interface with the pond on one side of the levee. The other of the sidewalls forms the fluid-tight barrier or interface with the pond on the other side. The housing itself is divided into upper and lower fluid chambers; the lower fluid chamber is adapted for the inflow of fluid to be pumped and the upper fluid chamber adapted for the outflow of fluid to be pumped. A pump, typically of the high flow, low head, impeller or propeller variety, has an intake communicated to the lower chamber and a discharge communicated to the upper chamber. Each of the sidewalls includes a first opening portion for establishing fluid communication between the lower chamber of said housing and the adjacent reservoir and a second opening portion for establishing fluid communication between the upper chamber and the fluid reservoir. By the simple expedient of opening one portion of one sidewall to the upper chamber and opening a second portion in the other sidewall to the lower chamber, selective directional flow between the adjacent reservoirs can occur.
