Okay riverrunner. Lucky you! I'm in a metro area (SF peninsula). Supposedly, an underground creek flows at the bottom of my sloped back yard, or used to according to a neighbor who lived there 60 years ago when the homes were built. I may be able to dig and then pump water. Otherwise it's a few miles trek to a lake. If the power grid goes down I expect the city water supply will stop and people will panic for water supplies. I have a years stash of food, but only so much water stored.
Pond 75 from the house, trout creek 160 yards to the south trout river 350 yards to the west. Ground water 12 feet below the basement floor.
Hand pump stored in garage. Generator with enough fuel to pump many thousands of gallons. At 16gpm and hour of running would give me 960 gallons on just over a gallon of gas.
I would hate to be caught in the death traps called cities.
