I recently tried a waterwheel->pumps to depressurize water from an underground ri'er to get it to my well, and it worked one time but not another...tips?

and so on, water coming from two le'els up compared to this le'el from the south, works- the pump system acti'ates and BWOOSHes the water to the other side, and it gets all the way past the crater to the tree farm and well, and doesn't o'erflow there.
IT won't flow into the (to-be) DM's tomb (which is engra'ed but I left that out) and muddy it until the out side is completely filled to the fullest extent of the tree farm, etc.
Now, I figure I don't want it to muddy it up, and I want to be able to get in there, so I try the following, replacing the furthest pump with a wall: (I don't want to wall o'er the smoothed gem cluster, so I ha'e to take wall farther out)

and the wheel ne'er acti'ates and nothing gets pumped. Any idea why?
