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. Axial-flow pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial-flow_pump

   An axial-flow pump for industrial use. An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe.The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.

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.

5. 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 ...

6. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally 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 ...

7. 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 ...
