  2. Water metering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

    A typical water meter register showing a meter reading of 8.3 gallons. Notice the black "1" on the odometer has not yet fully turned over, so only the red hand is read. Water meters connected to remote reading devices through three-wire cables. There are several types of registers on water meters.

  5. Hydropower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower

    Hydropower (from Ancient Greek ὑδρο-, "water"), also known as water power or water energy, is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines. This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. [1] Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy ...

  6. Archimedes' screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_screw

    It is a reversible hydraulic machine that can be operated both as a pump or a power generator. As a machine used for lifting water from a low-lying body of water into irrigation ditches, water is lifted by turning a screw-shaped surface inside a pipe. In the modern world, Archimedes screw pumps are widely used in wastewater treatment plants and ...

  7. Flushometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flushometer

    A narrow passageway leads from the main water supply into the pressure chamber. It is the narrowness of this passage that meters the flow by slowing repressurizing of the pressure chamber after the action of a flush. The diaphragm technology allows the flush valve to open and let water into the bowl. A main cylinder valve operates up and down.

  9. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Because they are used for domestic water measurement, piston meters, also known as rotary piston or semi-positive displacement meters, are the most common flow measurement devices in the UK and are used for almost all meter sizes up to and including 40 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a ...
