In Reply to: Using Windmill to drain land........ posted by davpal on April 05, 2006 at 22:33:52:
Though I am against draining anymore of our wetlands, the windmill is the most reasonable way to go. When one considers the work done by any machine, you calculate the Work such that W = F*d where F is the weight of the water and d is the height. If you are pumping from a depth of 30feet, you will only get so much water. If you are raising the water only 1 foot, then you should be able to move 30 times the water using the same windmill. This would mean a larger diameter pump or faster stroke or something like that. But if you do drain the bottom land, where will the natural balance happen? What will you do to replace the environment you will be removing from the ecosystem?
