No electricity

Whenever the electricty goes off, our water pump doesn't work to carry water from our cistern.  We have learned how to deal with it so life can go on without much of a bother.  I go into bucket-toting mode:
We flush the toilet by pouring water
into the tank.
I fill the bucket on the left with
  water to wash hands and dishes.
(The container on the right, which is

always there, has clean water.)
