Noria

A noria (Arabic:ناعورة‎, nā‘ūra, from Syriac:ܢܥܘܪܐ‎, nā‘urā) is a machine activated by water power and used for lifting water into a small aqueduct, either for the purpose of irrigation or for the use in towns and villages. There is at least one known instance where it feeds seawater into a saltern.
