problem is wunhunglo is this a drilled or dug well? And worse how deep? If your well is serviced by a submersible pump you will have to devise a system to power it. Thankfully there are options and choices in doing so. If you have a windmill they can be adapted to turn either an AC or DC generator (make sure it's a generator and not an alternator) as they aren't intended to produce heavy recharge rates and will burn out quickly under high demand. Collect a bank of heavy duty deep cycle batteries (don't use a standard auto battery as they aren't designed to be completely discharged and recharged repeatedly as are the deep cycle) make sure your water storage tank is secure and of large enough capacity to last you at least three days at your highest demand rates. Another option is solar power to recharge your batteries, coupled with inverters you can still power you wells pump.
