  2. 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].

  3. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    The pressure switch turns the water pump on when it senses a pressure that is less than P lo and turns it off when it senses a pressure greater than P hi. While the pump is on, the pressure tank fills up. The pressure tank is then depleted as it supplies water in the specified pressure range to prevent "short-cycling", in which the pump tries ...

  4. Cone of depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_of_depression

    In confined aquifers , the cone of depression is a reduction in the pressure head surrounding the pumped well. When a well is pumped, the water level in the well is lowered. By lowering this water level, a gradient occurs between the water in the surrounding aquifer and the water in the well. Because water flows from high to low water levels or ...

  5. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    In this configuration pumps are installed below ground level on the base of the dry well so that their inlets are below water level on pump start, priming the pump and also maximising the available NPSH. Although nominally isolated from the sewage in the wet well, dry wells are underground, confined spaces and require appropriate precautions ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    In subsurface hydrogeology, drawdown is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer, typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test. In surface water hydrology and civil engineering, drawdown refers to the lowering of the surface elevation of a body of water, the water table, the piezometric surface ...
