About this book
Demonstrating how common materials can be used to make a basic pump for small-holding and garden usage, this book provides guidance on how to assemble, operate and maintain it. It also gives an indication of costs. Topics discussed include raising and distributing water, the necessary tools and materials, how to fit and cut washers, and how to mount the pulley and axle.
