If you get a clunky knocking noise from the pipes of your water system it is air-lock, like an air bubble in the pipes. The only way to get rid of it is to let the water run or if you have bleed-points bleed it (put an old towel down first) It is common for this to happen if you have turned the water off or drained the system for maintainance.

I will have to make a couple of assumptions to answer.
1. you have your own well
2. you have a drilled well or a sand point.
If these are true your problem may be a cogged or faulty pressure switch.
A pressure switch turns the pump on and off according to the pressure in your system . If the pressure switch is partially clogged the switch may read a false pressure and not turn the pump on. the result is no water . as the pressure slowly seeps through the clog the switch turns the pump on and water starts to run. Without more info this is the best answer I can come up with.

Why does the SRS light keep coming on in Mitsubishi Eclipse?

It happens sometimes without reason. Try to disconnect your battery for couple minutes then connect it again and check the light when you running the car. If you are lucky it will help. If not I'm afraid you have to check your computer for code errors.

How do you hold your breath really long?

You start out by sucking in air and holding it as long as you can with out passing out. Then once you finally have to breath again, wait a couple of seconds (or minutes if you need to) and do it all over again. Repeat that over and over; it will take longer than a couple minutes; but it will eventually work. And that is how you hold your breath for a really long time!
