The Persian wheel is a mechanical water lifting device operated usually by draught animals like bullocks, buffaloes or camels. It is used to lift water from water sources typically open wells. In Sanskrit the word Araghatta has been used in the ancient texts to describe the Persian Wheel. The ‘ara-ghatta’ comes from the combination of the words ‘ara’ meaning spoke and ‘ghatta’ meaning pot. The Persian wheel has been, and still is, widely used particularly in the north of the Indian sub-continent, while the noria was widely used in China, S.E. Asia and to some extent in the Middle East and being normally water powered.
