I live in a village in UP, India and use hand pump to get water from ground. I want to install a overhead tank in my house. To fill the tank I need to install a pump which will pump the water from ground level to overhead tank. So which type of electric pump is best suited for this purpose?

Following are the specification for the pump:

1. Tank volume = 1000 Liters
2. Tank height from ground = 17 meters
3. Length of the pipe in the hand pump = 120 Feet
4. Avg. voltage supply in my house = 100v to 120v for 6hrs/day (we always face low voltage issue in our village).

Kindly suggest what type of electric pump is best suitable for these above condition?
