Which of the following is commonly used animal operated water lifting device for the lift more than 20 m?

A.

Swing basket

B.

Rope and bucket

C.

Circulating two basket lift

D.

Persian wheel

Correct option is B

The Correct Answer is: (B) Rope and bucket
Explanation:
The rope and bucket system is a commonly used animal-operated device for lifting water from wells deeper than 20 meters. In this method, a bucket attached to a rope is lowered into the well and then pulled up by animal power, usually oxen, making it efficient for greater depths.
Information Booster:
  • It is widely used for domestic water needs and small-scale irrigation.

  • Animals like bullocks walk away from the well, pulling the rope and lifting the bucket filled with water.

  • This method allows control over the amount of water lifted and is suitable for deep wells.

Additional Information:
  • Swing basket: Only suitable for shallow water lifting by manual labor.

  • Circulating two basket lift: A manual system used for shallow water.

  • Persian wheel: Used for continuous lifting of water from wells but generally suited for moderate depths.
