2. Sump pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

   Alternative sump pump systems can be driven by municipal water pressure. Water-powered ejector pumps have a separate pump, float and check valve. [4] The float controlling a backup pump is mounted in the sump pit above the normal high water mark. Under normal conditions, the main electric powered sump pump will handle all the pumping duties.

3. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends basement waterproofing with a water alarm and "battery-operated backup pump" as a preventive measure against the high cost of flooding.

A larger open pit or artificial swale that receives stormwater and dissipates it into the ground is called an infiltration basin or ...

5. Pumping station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

   When the sewage level rises to a predetermined point, a pump will be started to lift the sewage upward through a pressurized pipe system called a sewer force main if the sewage is transported some significant distance. The pumping station may be called a lift station if the pump merely discharges into a nearby gravity manhole. [4]

6. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

   In situations where a downward slope out of a building en route to a treatment system cannot be created, a special collection sump pit and grinding lift "sewage ejector" pump are needed. By contrast, potable water supply systems are pressurized up to 50 pounds per square inch (340 kPa) or more and so do not require a continuous downward slope ...
