Question:

How many HP of water pump is needed to pump water from ground level to a height of 50 feet?

After reaching a height of 50 feet , there should be enough pressure to hose around 20 to 30 feet of water from it for curing concrete structure ex: columns, slab area etc. How many inches ( diameter ) of rubber hose is required to plug the water pump for pumping water ?

Answer:

1 inch
It depends on your type of pump. Pumps delivering over 200 feet from bore well are usually multi-stage turbine type.

from a physics point of view, the power required depends on the flow rate as well as the pressure (from the water column height). So it's impossible to say.
