2. Booster pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

   Multi-story buildings equipped with fire sprinkler systems may require a large booster pump to deliver sufficient water pressure and volume to upper floors in the event of a fire. Such pumps are often powered by a diesel engine dedicated to this purpose. The engine needs a fuel tank and an automatic controller that will start the booster pump ...

4. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

   Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...

5. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   A hydraulic ram pump, ram pump, or hydram is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one " hydraulic head " (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate.

6. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

   The spiral pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. Based on the same principle as the Archimedean screw, it consists of a rotating tube or plane (screw) to move a liquid. Unlike the Archimedean screw, it can pump while horizontal. The Archimedean screw must be tilted at an angle.

7. Irrigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation

   Micro-irrigation, sometimes called localized irrigation, low volume irrigation, or trickle irrigation is a system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped network, in a pre-determined pattern, and applied as a small discharge to each plant or adjacent to it. Traditional drip irrigation use individual emitters, subsurface ...
