This is in the white mountains and our seasonal source of water. It has been in existence for over 50 years and works relatively well. It is a 20 minute hike up a mountain so not easy to lug anything but hand tools to. The main problem is when we get heavy rain storms the inlet gets clogged. I have a metal strainer that goes over the pipe which also has a strainer. Any suggestions on how to make this better. Also, is this a spring? Water is coming down a brook but that dries up later in the summer but there is always water there and I’m told there is a spring in that spot.

I mean yeah that’s generally how a spring works. You could/should build a spring box that will just keep debris out of there all together.
I’m also in the mountains and have a couple springs. Are you new to the property?
