To prepare for the collapse, I'm buying mechanical pumps to handle pumping water from deep wells (over 100 feet deep). We won't have electricity. People don't often consider the lift pumps necessary when running sewer lines because water only runs down hill. When power is unavailable, not only do the pumps stop pumping water, they stop pumping sewer. And this is only a fraction of what we can expect.

The pump we have at our pond (stocked with fish) is solar. But in case that was to get fried by EMP, we had a hand pump installed as backup. The well is set at around 120 ft.
