Water supply for off-grid living

[Larzo]

I might like to put in one of those hand pumps. The land where my yurt is seems pretty wet. Once you go down several feet, you hit water. I think it is hard for me to create a root cellar because of that. Every time I dug a hole trying to create some kind of root cellar, I hit water.

Would I need to hire a professional to install one of those hand pump things that will also draw water in the winter in Maine ? Maybe I could do it myself somehow ?
