Hi,
First make sure you're building offshore pumps, not just pumps :
https://wiki.factorio.com/Pump

The Offshore pump allows to get water from a lake, and must be build on a shore, the pump is just a relay between two pipes or a tank and a pipe.

Next, a screenshot might be of some help (if the above information didn't help).
