Oh boy,

As the other member in my group previously stated, our group is choosing to focus on the task of transporting water from a tank to a garden nearly two feet above it. Anyone with a brain can piece together that this will surely be a difficult thing to achieve. Nicole did point out that moving water upstream has been done before, but let's keep in mind that we are not geniuses like the group of boys that did this, but we can at least give it a try. 
I can't help but think that this might be an easier thing than we are making it. There are, and have been, civilizations that have been situated above water sources, and they must have had ways of getting water to them. To start of though, I think it would be a great idea for our group to use similar tools and objects that the group of boys did, but we should also try to innovate their ideas and attempt to make them our own. 
Hopefully this all ends well. But like Beau said, in a worst case scenario, we would be able to purchase a simple pump for Mr. Omo and find a way to make the pump run on a tiny photovoltaic cell in order to make it even more eco-friendly.
