colors were 'for variety')

We ended up with a hand cranked rope and bucket that we use a lot, since
then we have got electricity brought up to the place so I have pipe and a
submerged pump. That works good, but as electricity is expensive and out
sometimes, we try not to use it.

Also are working on a rope pump like this (it's in Spanish but the picture
says it all)
http://aprotec.tripod.com/mecate.htm

These are really getting popular in Central America and can get a lot of
water up easily.
