I sail boats, and there's a saying "The best pump is a frightened man with a bucket". We have a few small pumps for getting water out of the bottom of boats. When there's only a few cm a bucket wouldn't work; but they seem to need a lot of effort for not much water. With only a few cm, a dustpan can be a more effective baler than a bucket. When we lived outside Hastings we had a borehole that we got our water from, together with rainwater. It went into a large underground tank under the garage, it was then pumped up to tanks in the loft either by an electric pump or if there was trouble with it then with a rotary hand pump like those shown here.. https://www.drain-systems.co.uk/pump...ary-hand-pumps Easy to use and shifted water quite quickly.
