A water pump is a mechanical device designed to move water from one location to another through pressure and flow generation. It is widely used in agriculture, construction, drainage, and residential water supply systems. Water pumps operate using electric motors, gasoline engines, or diesel power sources to create the force needed to transport water through pipes or hoses. Common types include centrifugal pumps and submersible pumps, each suited for different working conditions. Efficient pump selection based on flow rate, head height, and application requirements ensures reliable water transfer and long-term system performance.
