About the Hand water pump

A hand pump is a simple machine that brings water up from a well below the ground. You push the handle up and down, and each stroke lifts more water out of the spout. Before taps and pipes reached farms, a pump like this was how a family got its water. Trace the path from the pump to the trough on this printable and color the flowing water blue.

  • A pump moves water using the mechanical action of its handle.
  • Each push of the handle lifts more water up from the well below.
  • Hand pumps once supplied water to farms before pipes and taps arrived.
