The following material describes a range of technologies for the pumping of water for irrigation. The technologies have been classified into three general categories: human powered, animal powered, and other energy source driven pumps, such as solar or wind. This material is by no means intended to be a comprehensive study of all such technologies but hopefully what is presented here will enable the reader to assess the feasibility of the various types of pumps for a particular situation. A comparison of the technologies is provided in Table I.
