A scoop wheel, also known as a scoop wheel pump, is a type of water lifting device or mechanical device that is used to raise water from a source, such as a well or a river, to a higher elevation. It typically consists of a circular wheel with attached scoops or buckets that can scoop up water as the wheel turns.
