# Water well pump

A water well pump is a pump that is used in extracting water from a water well.

They include different kinds of pumps, most of them submersible pumps:

* Hand pump, manually operated
* Injector, a jet-driven pump
* Mechanical or rotary lobe pump requiring mechanical parts to pump water
* Solar-powered water pump
* Pump driven by air as used by the Amish
* Pump driven by air as used in the Australian outback
* Manual pumpless or hand pump wells requiring a human operator

The pump replaces the use of a bucket and pulley system to extract water.
