Mella,
I did some research on the internet for this topic. I have also thought about using gravity to supply pressure.
Someone at WikiAnswers said you get about .4 lb of pressure for each foot of height, so 10' would produce 4 lb pressure. Most houses run on 20 lb up to 100, so it would take quite a water tower to provide a good shower. But drip irrigation should not demand much pressure.
I'm glad to know a little more on the topic.
