Default Woohoo! Storm! No water!

Out here in the High Mojave Desert, the trailer park I live in has two wells,
both of which are about 200ft deep and the water level is at the 100ft mark.
Still I get enough to grow 300+ iris and my I.Canna's too.

A medium generator will run a well pump. However there may be cheaper
alternatives, depending on your well.

Many modern wells have water within 10-20 feet of the surface. Even if
you have to drill down 200' or more, that's to get a good flow rate, not
to hit water. If the water is that close to the surface, it can be
pulled up by a hand pump.
