Thanks for the comment on the AeroVironment. I have no idea how well it would work with wind rather than PV. I think they will not guarantee it if I do use it with wind, though.

I should have mentioned the volume:

  1. homes @ 7 people/home = 3150 people
  2. liters/day min water/person * 3150 people = 63,000 liters/day or 63 m^3/day
That's on the low end, and the system should be scalable.

This site is not currently without water. There are number of hand water pumps at shallower depths, though some are too difficult to use.
