persian wheel

• In the Persian wheel, a number of buckets are lowered into a well on a chain. As a result, there is a continuous supply of water as the empty buckets descend into the well and come out full of water. With this method, water up to a depth of 23 to 26 metres can be accessed and powered by a pair of Bullocks or Camel. The Persian wheel, along with the charsa, are the most common methods of lift irrigation in Pakistan and have used for several centuries.
