Water levels less than 1-3/4 inches will not allow the impeller to contact water therefore no water will be pumped. Garden hose adapter
I have had a very similar issue, got one of these and a long hose and clamp for it from Lowe's.
Put it down there in the summertime with a window well cover over it, run an extension cord and make sure the junction of the cords is good and water-protected, all set, even if you're not home.
You can try to hook up something like this in the window well http://www.amazon.com/Wayne-EEAUP250-Energy-Efficient-Removal/dp/B00502AIUU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375409320&sr=8-3&keywords=flotec+intellipump
I have the Flotec Intellipump which works good too but ive read a few bad reviews on it getting clogged easy which is true.
Also you can dig a french drain, have it all graded to run off to a low point out of the way.
And last option would be to add a big garden around it a build it up a good few feet with loom/dirt. It works for many people by building their garden area up around problematic window wells. It can block and absorb water fairly easily.
