…Dug wells are a device that allows pressurized groundwater to flow naturally, and qanat is a method of drawing water using the gravity of the water, but ordinary wells require human, animal, and mechanical power to draw water. Among them, noria (Arabic, nā'ūra in Persian), which draws water by moving livestock in a circular motion to move a chain of buckets, is well-known. From 【Waterwheel】…There are two common types: those that use animal power to convert horizontal rotational motion into vertical waterwheel rotation using gears, and those that use a down-shot waterwheel that rotates with the current of water to lift water. The former are usually called sāqiya and are more common in Egypt, while the latter are called nā'ūra (or noria in English) and are more common in Syria and Iraq. Among them, Syria's Hama has been famous for its large waterwheels since the 9th century, and the largest of the few that remain today has a diameter of about 27 meters and can lift water to a height almost equal to that diameter. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "noria" is listed below.
