Nice looking pump, but a little pricey. It's about $4,000 for a 300' well. It could be a good option for someone with a shallow well.Need a simple reliable water pump?

JACKSON, Miss – Organizations in Jackson, Mississippi, are asking for help from other states as the water crisis dries up resources.
It’s been over five months since the Pearl River crested and Jackson, Mississippi’s water system failed. Now, crews are working to replace the pipe system, but families and businesses are prepared to go without water periodically, for up to 10 years.
Cities across the country are replacing fragile water pipe systems. Besides Jackson, there's Flint, Michigan, Baltimore, Maryland, and Houston, Texas.
The systems are replaced section-by-section after failure. But, these years-long projects can cause water main breaks…”

There are two Jacksons. Northeast Jackson, where I grew up and where two of my sisters still live, and the rest of the city. Northeast Jackson is like a big bubble. If you didn't stray outside of Northeast Jackson, you wouldn't know how bad the "other Jackson" was...well, except for the crumbling streets. There are some very affluent neighborhoods like Eastover and Sherwood Forest, and some old money neighborhoods like Woodland Hills, and some artsy fartsy historic neighborhoods like Belhaven. And they are pretty much still the same as when I grew up. (except for the aforementioned crumbling streets). We lived not too far from Eastover, and my father used to joke that we lived in "Leftover."
I've been to Mississippi a few times on business, not sure if I ever went through Jackson though. I'm sure it's like most places; good and bad. I was surprised at how nice northern Mississippi was. I bought our last lab from a breeder in Oxford Mississippi, then 10 weeks later I had him flown to Alaska.
Hi Dave, I have been doing survival trainings since back in 1974 and there are just too many ways to get water from the air. Small slanted tables with glass or plastic tops and black interiors to collect water, de-humidifiers with air filters to collect water, solar distillation stills, nets to catch fog, de-salination systems, simple little plexiglas boxes with just leaves and grass in it to create your own condensation water, plastic bags wrapped around plants or tree branches, bottles arranged to collect rain to be filtered or used directly in the garden....just spend some time in the You-tube and look for that which fits your part of the world and personal needs for drinking, animal needs or even small gardens.
In 74, I was in Logistics, and beyond training, I’ve never had the occasion or need to do any of those since then. We had it pretty good compared to the guys who had to deal with water from the delta, inland rivers, or do rain water collection. The engineers produced/supplied an incredible amount of water, and without it, survival would have been tenuous.
