Agricultural water pumps are a type of agricultural machinery designed to transport or pressurize liquids; they are primarily general-purpose mechanical products used in agricultural production, rural infrastructure development, and water sourcing for rural households. Based on the operating principles and structural characteristics of their main components, they can be classified into categories such as rotodynamic pumps (e.g., centrifugal pumps, axial-flow pumps), positive-displacement pumps (e.g., reciprocating rod pumps), and special-purpose pumps (e.g., hydraulic ram pumps); other types, defined by the operational and structural characteristics of the pump and its prime mover, include deep-well pumps and hydro-turbine pumps.
Agricultural water pumps are widely used in applications such as farmland irrigation and drainage, dry-land watering, sprinkler irrigation, the irrigation of orchards, woodlands, and grasslands, aeration in aquaculture, sewage and waste discharge in livestock farming, rural road construction, and domestic water sourcing. Key product types include small submersible pumps, submersible sewage and waste pumps, deep-well submersible pumps, self-priming pumps, and vortex pumps.
