ᐅ Is it possible to use a submersible pump to draw water from a trench?

Probably a really silly question:
We have a submersible pump (just in case) for emergencies if the basement should ever flood. It has never been used because it was never necessary.
Now we have newly built our house, and the garden will be landscaped soon. Behind the property, there is a large ditch with a lot of water in it. It could be used for irrigation. This probably won’t work with the submersible pump, right? So, we would need to buy a proper garden pump?

Take a walk along the ditch for an hour to the right and left,
do others withdraw water from it,
does it feed ponds or protected natural areas,
where does the water come from after four weeks of drought. Is it a drainage ditch for agriculture or residential areas.
The Aral Sea is drying up because the inflows are used for irrigation.

To my knowledge, automated water extraction from surface waters is often not allowed or requires a building permit / planning permission. However, filling buckets and watering cans is usually permitted (unless also prohibited due to drought conditions).
Perhaps drilling a well not far from the ditch could be an option?
