>>512197501>hand pumpsJust so people realize, hand pumps can only pull water from about 28 feet.
Its purely a physics thing.
So everytime you watch an old western movie with someone pumping water, its a maximum of 28 feet of pipe to the water table.
After that you have to have a pump dropped down into the well to push water up.
So all of these African villages dont have water because after 600,000 years they havent figured out how to dig a hole.
