QUESTION
What type & capacity of pump should be used to pump water to an overhead tank 20m high? Will a submersible pump do the job?

We have an underground water tank 12ftx 10ftx 7ft. We need to pump water to overhead tank at height of 20-25m or 60-70 ft. As of now, a normal motor is being used. Can someone suggest if a submersible pump will be better or not and if yes, then what is the capacity of pump that will be the best for the job.
