The only nearby water is deep underground. Given the problems of the village, which technology is best for quickly improving the carrying capacity?

Although the options have not been provided, the best option for the farm is a drilling rig for water.

Due to the distance from the ocean, desalination can not be carried out and neither is a hydroelectric power plant a good option since it requires large quantities of water being passed over turbines. Finally, vertical farming is a feasible option where there is limited land for the cultivation of crops, so they are grown in layers, one on top of the other.
