Water Wheel Pumping System

Lifting and carrying water for irrigation without electricity is a challenge. Lifting and carrying water to nearby pond/open well requires energy. In this study an attempt has been made if this can be met out from the kinetic energy of flowing water. This revolving of water wheel pumping system is eco- friendly and water pumping works on mechanical energy without electricity. The kinetic energy of flowing water can be utilized for some use full work like pumping. The energy produced by flowing water can be utilized for lifting and carrying water for different purposes such as irrigation and also for other rural works in remote areas. The cup type pumping system was tested at different suction heads and delivery heads. When the suction head (0.56 m) is constant and the delivery head is varying from 0.70 m to 1.30 m. It was seen that the discharge varying from 0.364 to 0.178 lps is decreasing as the discharge head increasing. Spiral tube pumping system has shown certain constraints in the effective performance of the operation. When the water depth varies from 0.30 m to 0.46 m, it was seen that the discharge varying from 0.114 to 0.193 lps is increasing as water depth to increasing.
