Tractor supply, Home Depot and Amazon. Another idea would be a cistern system, depending on where you live and local laws.Back in the day they had cisterns under the kitchen area and a hand pump mounted on the kitchen counter near or at the sink,only good for drinking water and such. There are ways to drill your own shallow well and install a hand pump also. A lot depends on your local water levels and such.

Many good "How To" reels on You Tube
