2. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

   Water pumping. The pumping of water is a basic and practical technique, far more practical than scooping it up with one's hands or lifting it in a hand-held bucket. This is true whether the water is drawn from a fresh source, moved to a needed location, purified, or used for irrigation, washing, or sewage treatment, or for evacuating water from ...

3. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   Pump. A small, electrically powered pump. A large, electrically driven pump for waterworks near the Hengsteysee, Germany. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, [1] by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic energy. Mechanical pumps serve in a wide range of ...

4. Solar-powered pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_pump

   A windpump replaced by a solar-powered pump at a water hole in the Augrabies Falls National Park. [Notes 1] This solar water pump up to 3.7 kW is useful for farmers.Solar-powered pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps. [1]

5. Submersible pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersible_pump

   A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between the pump ...

6. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

   Warman centrifugal pump in a coal preparation plant application. A pair of centrifugal pumps for circulating hot water within a hydronic heating system. Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine ...

7. Center-pivot irrigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center-pivot_irrigation

   Center-pivot irrigation (sometimes called central pivot irrigation), also called water-wheel and circle irrigation, is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers. [1][2] A circular area centered on the pivot is irrigated, often creating a circular pattern in crops when viewed from ...
