A rope pump is a simple and effective type of water lifting device used primarily in rural and less developed areas for extracting water from wells or other sources. It consists of a long, flexible rope with a series of cups or containers attached to it. The rope is looped around a cylindrical casing or a pulley system, allowing it to rotate. When the rope is turned, the cups lift water up from the source and discharge it at the top.
