an irrigation pump.
The Archimedean or Archimedes Screw is a large spiral screw revolving inside a hollow, tight fitting cylinder. It was traditionally hand operated or wind operated by a windmill, and used to raise water efficiently by transferring water from low lying bodies of water into irrigation ditches.
An Archimedes screw is used for transporting water from a low lying area, to a higher area. The Archimedes screw has a twisting spiraling mechanism that keeps bringing water from the bottom of the screw, up to the top.
