Noria

A noria (Arabic: ناعورة‎, nā‘ūra, from Syriac: ܢܥܘܪܐ‎, nā‘orā, lit. "growler") is a hydropowered machine used to lift 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.
