Study Notes
Submersible Pumps
- A submersible pump is designed to be installed underground, such as a deepwell pump.
Aquifers
- An aquifer is an underground formation that contains sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water.
Pump Components
- A wet pit refers to a sump or pit that holds the pump and is submerged in the liquid being pumped.
Groundwater Sources
- Groundwater is available from underground formations, such as aquifers.
Centrifugal Pumps
- The impeller imparts velocity to the liquid in a pump, resulting from centrifugal force as the impeller is rotated.
