Not hard to build a pump at all. look up Ctsephon or Hero of Alexandria. If you've ever seen an old horse drawn fire pump that's it. Archimedes screw is simple, wrap a hose screw fashion around a frame, a barrel works well. put it at something less than 15 degrees from horizontal and turn it so the immersed end gulps up water. A simple force pump can be made by joining several lengths of pipe with check valves. Use a larger diameter pipe as a guide, plunge the first pipe up and down until water comes out.

This guy has a pretty nifty one:

I wonder if you could power a centrifugal type with a bicycle.
But the Money Maker is pretty hard to beat if you are looking for a pump at less than $40

Google 'Clack Valve'
Also there was a guy that put out an Ible He Made One.

There's always the force pump, which is a bicycle pump with some valves.
I think they'd be easier to build than the screw for an archimedean pump.

There is just something about the archim. screw that I really like. Someday maybe I'll figure that out and move on.
I know what you mean - but I really don't fancy making the screw bit !

Archimedes screw on of the simplest water pumps to make. Very easy to make the size you need and easy to run by mechanical means only.
Here's the link.
