  2. Water pumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

    Due to the rotation, water is then picked up by the tube and pumped upwards in the hose. The coil pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. It is currently still used by farmers in Asia. [1] The coil pump was built as an alternative to the Archimedean screw. Unlike the Archimedean screw ...

  3. Pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

    The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that lifts a portion of the input water that powers the pump to a point higher than where the water started. The hydraulic ram is sometimes used in remote areas, where there is both a source of low-head hydropower, and a need for pumping water to a destination higher in elevation than ...

    Grateful for their assistance, Widow Jenkins treats the Stooges to a lavish meal, and in return, they offer to fix her broken water pump. During the repair, they accidentally uncover oil beneath the farm, transforming the pump into a geyser and staining their clothes.

  5. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

    The momentum of the water flow in the inlet pipe against the now closed waste valve causes a water hammer that raises the pressure in the pump beyond the pressure caused by the water column pressing down from the outlet. This pressure differential now opens the delivery valve [5], and forces some water to flow into the delivery pipe [3].

  6. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    The installation, maintenance and repair of deep well hand pumps is more complicated than with other hand pumps. A deep well hand pump theoretically has no limit to which it can extract water. In practice, the depth is limited by the physical power a human being can exert in lifting the column of water, which is around 30 m

  7. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    The water hammer principle can be used to create a simple water pump called a hydraulic ram. Leaks can sometimes be detected using water hammer. Enclosed air pockets can be detected in pipelines. The water hammer from a liquid jet created by a collapsing microcavity is studied for potential applications noninvasive transdermal drug delivery. [33]

  9. Village-level operation and maintenance (pumps) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village-level_operation...

    During the first UN decade on water boreholes, hand-dug wells and tubewells were constructed and water pumps were provided to developing countries by various NGOs. Unfortunately this top down approach led to the installation of pumps, notable the India Mark II, that were difficult to maintain. VLOM pumps were designed to allow remote villages ...
