  2. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    The simplest, most reliable way to provide backflow prevention is to provide an air gap. An air gap is simply an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system (like a valve or faucet) and any place where contaminated water can collect or pool. A simple air gap has no moving parts, other than flowing water.

  3. Siphon tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon_tubes

    The simplest siphon tubes are operated by simply filling the tube with water (by immersion in the canal, or other means), keeping one end in the canal and with the other end sealed, placing it in the area to be irrigated. The seal can then be removed and the water will siphon transferring the water from the submerged higher end to the lower end.

    A siphon spillway in a dam is usually not technically a siphon, as it is generally used to drain elevated water levels. [34] However, a siphon spillway operates as an actual siphon if it raises the flow higher than the surface of the source reservoir, as sometimes is the case when used in irrigation.

  5. Heron's fountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_fountain

    Pressure is transmitted by the air through pipe P2 into the water supply B, and pushes the water up into pipe P3. Water moving up pipe P3 replaces water falling from A into C, closing the loop. These principles explain the construction: The air in C must not escape through pipe P1, which is why P1 must go to the bottom, so that the water seals it.

  6. Surface irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_irrigation

    Water may be supplied using gated pipe, siphon and head ditch, or bankless systems. The speed of water movement is determined by many factors such as slope, surface roughness, and furrow shape, but most importantly by the inflow rate and soil infiltration rate. The spacing between adjacent furrows is governed by the crop species, common ...

  7. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    A hand pump opens access to deeper groundwater that is often not polluted and also improves the safety of a well by protecting the water source from contaminated buckets. Pumps such as the Afridev pump are designed to be cheap to build and install, and easy to maintain with simple parts.
