	Wicken Fen: Windpump
		The windpump now situated on the Sedge Fen,the only working wooden windpump remaining in the Fens, was originally sited on Adventuers’ Fen.
		Lord Fairhaven, of Anglesey Abbey, was instrumental in rescuing the windpump.
		The windpump was erected on Sedge Fen in 1956.

	Windpumps (original) - Appropedia
		By the 1920's 6 million windpumps were being used in the USA alone and their manufacture and use had become commonplace on every continent.
		The installation of the windpumps was done by RIIC in 69% of the cases and by owners and foreign dealers in 23% and 8% respectively.
		The respondents thought that the adoption of the windpump technology was constrained by factors such as the lack of appropriate policies, lack of awareness of the technology, high costs of maintenance and inadequate wind regimes.

	BWEA - Windpumps
		The majority of windpumps in use today are entirely mechanical devices, with multi-bladed 'fan' rotors, based on technology developed originally in the USA during the latter part of the nineteenth century.
		Mechanical windpumps declined in use from their heydey in the 1920s when there were 6 million units in use in the USA alone.
		However a plethora of small windpump manufacturers have appeared recently in several developing countries, particularly in India and China, and it seems possible that there will be a reasonably revival of the use of windpumps over the next few years since the need is widespread in many areas having the right physical conditions.

	Hands On: Gone With The Wind - Philippines
		Mechanical windpumps are used for domestic water supply for households and apartments; vegetable gardens and supplementary irrigation; water supply for poultry and livestock; and water supply for gasoline stations.
		Consideration also needs to be given as to whether the windpump is intended for household use where continuous operation is necessary at a lower output, or for agricultural use where large volumes of water are necessary but for shorter periods.
		The windpump is directly coupled with to a small farm reservoir or to a concrete tank for irrigating rice and vegetable crops.

	Norfolk - Page 2, Horsey Estate - www.bootsandpaws.co.uk
		The National Trust's Horsey Windpump was built in 1912 by Dan England to replace an existing 200 year old windpump that was damaged beyond repair in storms.
		The windpumps in Norfolk were used to pump water from the dykes which intersect and drain the land into the high level system of the Broads and tidal waterways.
		We follow a path from the windpump heading west and then north to arrive at the ruins of Brograve Windpump as shown in the centre photo.

	The Colonel Stephens Museum - Wind and Water
		The windpump at Ford was accompanied by a cylindrical water tank of classic American appearance, and survived into the 1950s, when most of the trains on the line had been electric for years.
		Lloyd, Lawrence displayed windpumps at several Royal Agricultural Society shows, including the one at Maidstone in 1899, and it is possible that Colonel Stephens became aware of the potential of the windpump as a result of a visit to the show.
		Two Duke and Ockenden windpumps are on display in the south of England, at the Surrey Rural Life Centre at Tilford, near Farnham, and at the Chalkpits Museum, Amberley, West Sussex.

	Windpump and Composting Latrine Technology
		Although communities in the Third World may understand the causal relationship between contaminated water, incorrect sanitation and unhygienic conditions, changing their poor environmental conditions is sometimes prevented by the lack of appropriate technologies.
		In response to such a situation in Panama, researchers are experimenting with windpumps and composting latrines.
		This project will evaluate the technical performance and social acceptability of a locally designed windpump system for potable water, and two models of compost-producing latrines.

		From September 1998 to February 1999, the rope windpump was transferred to four countries: Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala and Cuba.
		Apparently, the rope windpump can be adapted quickly to local conditions, which is an important asset for dissemination and sustainability outside Nicaragua.
		In this view, the rope windpump is a valuable system that may be applied for pumping larger water volumes.

	Stochastic Study of Windpumps with Reservoir in Southern High Plains (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The discharge of the electrical windpump was more than four times higher than the mechanical windpumps at high wind speeds.
		The performance of the electrical windpump was also much better at a high operating head (60 m) than at low operating heads under high wind regimes, showing its suitability for ground-water pumping in the Southern High Plains.
		Stochastic estimation of daily windpump discharge revealed that pumping rates are high in the spring and autumn seasons, favoring irrigation of a winter wheat crop.

		The project was financed by the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands in Managua and addressed three major issues: the evaluation of the rope windpump on technical, social and economic aspects; the dissemination of the results at two workshops in Managua; and a first transfer of the technology to four selected manufacturers in Latin America.
		The evaluation of the rope windpump was based upon an evaluation mission to Nicaragua, an end-use survey and a technical measuring programme.
		The windpump is a combined effort of the organisation CESADE and manufacturer AMEC in Managua to develop a simple, effective and cheap windpump design suitable for domestic use, cattle watering and small-scale irrigation.
