INTRODUCTION
• Myanmar is agricultural country.
• The problem of agriculturist is the water that supplies such as wells and
rivers can often be used for agricultural fields.
• Water pumping is one of the most basic and widespread energy needs in
rural area of the world.
• water pumping watermills where used to pump water for livestock and
settlers.
• Crops were irrigated by using the watermill to pump water into a reserve
area to flow out to the crops.
• A waterwheel powered pump is watermill used for pumping water, either as
a source of fresh water from wells
Working Principle
• A waterwheel is a simple turbine—a device with buckets, paddles or blades
that is rotated by moving water.
• It converts the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy.
• A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling
water into useful forms of power.
• . Waterwheel, mechanical device for tapping the energy of running or falling
water by means of a set of paddles mounted around a wheel.
• The force of the moving water is exerted against the paddles, and the
consequent rotation of the wheel is transmitted to machinery via the shaft of
the wheel.
• The shaft power drives to the pump.
