ABSTRACT
Groundwater has been used for municipal, industrial, irrigation, and other purposes since prehistoric times. In today’s world, groundwater is becoming increasingly more important as a reserve against drought, especially in the arid and semiarid lands. Extraction of groundwater from aquifers beneath the earth is the subject of this section. Various methods of pumping groundwater will be discussed ranging from simple hand-powered systems to high-capacity deep-well turbine pumps.
