Lifting Water
Abstract The need to lift large amounts of water from a basin to an higher level was strictly connected with the agriculture, hence with the birth of the civilization; the Code of Hammurabi dating to the 18th century B.C, in fact, made explicit reference to irrigation machines. In this chapter the early water lifting machines are presented from the shaduf till the Renaissance; Greek-Roman pumps and Islamic devices are also presented.
