Hi Jackson,
Yes, as stated above, the assumption that there will be water tanks already on site where the solar bore pumps would be installed. A great example of the fixed pumps is shown in the interactives. These fixed pumps are basic fire-fighting pumps with a cost of approximately 500 dollars, however these are low costs and have limited quality and flow rates.
CfAT is happy to be led by your solutions, where they are justified and appropriately designed for the conditions on the peninsula. I recommend you return to the specific challenge question you’re working on, as this will best answer your question about what they are looking for in a solution. Part of the EWB Challenge experience is to create a solution informed by your own decisions and judgements from interpretation of the the information available.
