The Water Retention Landscape is a model for ecosystem restoration based on natural & decentralized water management in regions threatened by desertification.
Water pumping - Wikipedia
The pumping of water is a basic and practical technique, far more practical than scooping it up with one's hands or lifting it in a hand-held bucket. This is true whether the water is drawn from a fresh source, moved to a needed location, purified, or used for irrigation, washing, or sewage treatment, or for evacuating water from an undesirable location.
